Subdued Pep Guardiola tight-lipped over future move for Lionel Messi
India TV NewsManchester City manager Pep Guardiola was tight-lipped Friday over whether his club would be keen to sign Lionel Messi for next season after being heavily linked with the Argentina star in the current transfer window. “I think Leo explained quite well his feelings and I don’t have anything to add," said Guardiola, speaking publicly for the first time about the Messi saga. Pressed on whether City would push to sign Messi as a free agent, Guardiola said: “I don’t know.” Guardiola was subdued ahead of City’s first match of the Premier League season, a trip to Wolverhampton on Monday. Chelsea, meanwhile, has spent more than $250 million on new players, while Liverpool is on the brink of signing Bayern Munich midfielder Thiago Alcantara — a player Guardiola knows well from his time at Bayern.
