Barcelona ace Lionel Messi is "more determined to leave than ever", according to AS. The Argentine is reported "no longer'' willing to listen to any other option than Manchester City. Messi won't back down and won't negotiate. He believes Barcelona are "morally obliged" to let him go for free but he wants to join Manchester City "for free''. City are among the contenders to sign the 33-year-old after he allegedly handed in a formal transfer request on Tuesday. The Argentina international enjoyed unbelievable success playing under Pep Guardiola at Barca between 2008 and 2012. According to Radio Catalunya, Messi has been in touch with the Catalan coach about reuniting at the Etihad.
