Former Chelsea star Joe Cole has warned Manchester City not to sign Barcelona forward, Lionel Messi next summer.
Cole made this known after the Argentina star’s uninspiring performance in the team’s 4-1 loss to Paris Saint Germain (PSG) in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League round of 16.
“You’d have to do your due diligence before you sign Messi. He looked disinterested tonight.
“The 34-year-old Messi, if he plays like that it will be a gamble.
“To take him into a club where Pep relies on energy, enthusiasm, togetherness.
“It’s a mess at Barca, I don’t know how they’re going to sort it out. I can’t see Messi staying there.
“It’s going to be tough for him to connect into one of these big teams because he’s going to have to roll back the clock and move like he did three or four years ago.”
