Liverpool legend Graeme Souness can see Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi joining Manchester City or Manchester United.
Barca plunged into yet another crisis on Friday after being hammered 8-2 by Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarter finals in Lisbon, raising questions about Messi’s future in Catalonia.
Souness believes that both Manchester clubs should make their move for the Argentine maestro, outlining that the uncertainty at Barcelona makes it a “perfect” time to plot a move.
“Lionel Messi looked like a man who has had enough of carrying that team,” he wrote in The Times. “Without him they wouldn’t even be good enough to qualify for the Champions League.
“This would be the perfect week to put a bid in for the 33-year-old Argentinian and I could easily see him playing in Manchester — at either United or City.”
