Manchester City are drawing up plans to ease the signing of Lionel Messi.

The Argentine has his heart set on leaving Barcelona this summer and has handed in a transfer request.

According to Sport, City will offer Messi a five-year deal to join.

The report says this agreement will be divided into two periods – three years with City in the Premier League and two years with sister club New York City in MLS.

Messi would gain 100 million euros a season before tax at City, with an all-out agreement worth of 750 million euros more than five years. The rest of the entirety will be the 250 million euro signing bonus to join New York.

This kind of agreement understanding would maintain a strategic distance from the danger of breaking Financial Fair Play (FFP) guidelines.
