Lionel Messi is unarguably one of the best players to have graced the sport of football. Some football lovers have even considered him to be the greatest of all time. Over the years, he has been seen as the pillar of support for Barcelona football club both as their captain and as their major talisman.

However, with the recent mounting troubles at the club include the latest humiliation Barcelona suffered at the hands of Lewandoski inspired Bayern Munich in the champions league competition and the fact that the club finished the season without winning any trophy, something Barcelona last saw in the 2007/2008 season.

The club’s superstar Lionel Messi has been tipped to leave Barcelona following the current form of the club. He has often at different points linked to leaving the club and with the club’s fully relying on him, it is time to take and break and change environment.

Messi’s contract will expire by 2021 and it is expected that he either renews his contract with his current club or find an alternative.

Here, we have listed alternative clubs that will be advisable and favorable for the 33-year-old football icon should he decide not to renew his contract and wants to leave.

1. Manchester City

A reunion with former Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola wouldn’t be a bad right? We believe that moving to the Ethiad stadium will be a safe Haven for Messi considering the fact that the English side has a lot of talented players that could support him there.

This move will definitely benefit both Messi and Manchester City as City will want to bounce back at the top of the Premier league table having lost their status as the English champion to Liverpool last season.

2. PSG

PSG is another team that could afford Lionel Messi in terms of his transfer fee and wages. The style and pattern of the club is something that Messi can adapt with easily.

For Messi to join PSG, it means football fans all over the world will get to see the classic combination of Neymar and Messi again, something that so many football fans are still looking forward to see.

Signing Messi could also help the club in their bid to win their first ever champions league title if they don’t win it this season following how hot Bayern Munich are at the moment.

3. Inter Milan

The Messi-Ronaldo debate and rivalry is something football fans have enjoyed over a decade and everybody seemed to always look forward to the duo going head to head and with a switch to Inter Millan, fans get to watch these two go head to head more often again.

C. Ronaldo is already playing for reigning Seria A champion Juventus, and with Messi coming to Inter Millan, it will definitely make more fans pay attention to the league too.

4. Newell's Old Boys

Messi can play for any of the teams from the top 5 leagues but considering his age, he may as well decide to switch to a less competitive side since he might as well have an eye on retirement.

Messi has never ruled out going back to his childhood club as he might just want to finish his career where it all started.

Conclusion

Lionel Messi will definitely be remembered as one of the best players in the world of football and can be easily regarded as the greatest player Barcelona have ever had.

Seeing Messi leave the club is not something many Barca will want to experience at the moment that the club seems to need him the most and on his part, it will not be an easy decision because he still has a firm affinity to the club that has offered him so much since he joined when he was just 13 years old.

Should Messi decide to stay, his feat will be something no other player may be able to achieve for the club and even if he decides to leave, we will get to see him light up somewhere else after a great spell at the club.

Inter is best option for him.

WibusJaga:
Inter is best option for him.

Yes, only if we consider the Ronaldo vs Messi rivalry. For me I think Man City is the best option since he will not need to stress himself that much considering the number of talented players they have already

i see psg buying him maybe as the only option to that neyma deal and he have di maria to help him settle..
man.city is nice but pep may not need him that much and messi would see no need joining already made city full of starts..
