Pep Guardiola is looking forward to a loan deal for Lionel Messi, as Manchester City struggles to score goals in the Premier League. He wants Messi in the team for the remainder of the season, as they’ve worked together in FC Barcelona.
Manchester City, the defending champions in the Premier League, have not been able to give their best performance in this season. The team failed to secure wins in some important games, due to which they have dropped to the 7th spot in the standings. Amidst the performance issues, Lionel Messi has been linked with rumours to join the team for the remainder of the season.
Currently, Manchester City is 12 points behind Liverpool, who are the current table toppers in the standings. Their manager Pep Guardiola is not happy with the team’s performance in the offensive side, due to which he considers the addition of Lionel Messi in a loan deal.
With only six goals in 7 matches, Manchester City’s performances have not been good. Pep Guardiola’s consideration to get Lionel Messi in a loan deal could take place in the next few weeks, as Messi has already worked with him when he was in FC Barcelona.
Along with that, Messi is currently having a rest time, with his next match for Inter Miami being on April 19. This could be helpful for Guardiola to secure Messi in a loan deal and make the attacking side of Manchester City even stronger.
