Lionel Messi wants Manchester City star at Barcelona over Antoine Griezmann

Lionel Messi has asked Barcelona to shop at Manchester City instead of spending 120 million euros on Antoine Griezmann, according to SportsKeeda. Barcelona have been heavily linked with Griezmann, who has announced that will leave Atletico Madrid in the summer transfer window. However, Lionel Messi does not want Barcelona to rest on their laurels and want to instead see what kind of a shot they got at signing Pep Guardiola's flying winger Leroy Sane. The biggest advantage with Sane is his age, but the fact that he can play on the left wing is another bonus. Griezmann can play on the flanks but his gameplay is visibly impeded.

Manchester City’s academy has produced a starting XI that’s now worth over £300 million
