Manchester City are keeping tabs on the situation between Barcelona and Lionel Messi.
All is not well at the Catalan club, with Messi putting out a statement on social media that targeted sporting director Eric Abidal.
The latter had questioned the effort of players recently.
The 32-year-old is seen as vital to Barca, even as he enters the twilight of his career.
And ESPN suggests that if there is any inclination that he would leave in the summer, City are interested.
The source suggests Messi could leave Barca on a free at the end of this season, per a clause in his contract.
But there is no other confirmation of that suggestion.
Messi has spent his entire professional career with Barcelona.
