Manchester City boss, Pep Guardiola, has made a big u-turn on his chase for Lionel Messi, Mundo Deportivo reports.

It is understood that City are willing to abandon the idea of signing Messi from Barcelona this summer.

The former Premier League champions believe the transfer is not financially viable, with Barca insisting the 33-year-old will not leave as a free agent.

LaLiga have also issued a statement, making it clear that any potential buyer must pay Messi’s €700 million release clause.

Guardiola has reportedly told the six-time Ballon d’Or winner it would be best for him to stay at the Camp Nou, where he has been since 13.

City does not want to attract further attention from football authorities, having already been forced to pay a €10 million fine this year for breaching UEFA rules.

Argentina economy is already fukced, they don't want some ignorant footballer for presido to fukc their lives even harder. If Maradona wasn't president then definitely Messi will never be. Even today, Maradona is highly respected than Messi in Argentina. The joy that Maradona brought to argentines lives can NEVER be compared to what Messi has done for Argentina (aka nada)

He can stay home and watch football on TV or swallow his pride and go back to train with Barca... Because NOBODY will be mad enough to pay €700M for "any" single player.
