Pep Guardiola has sought to bring the speculation regarding a move to Manchester City for Lionel Messi to a close, with the former Barcelona boss expecting the Argentine to retire at Camp Nou.
It would come as a surprise to see Messi leave his current surroundings, but potential landing spots have started to dominate gossip columns.
A reunion with Guardiola at City would be a logical fit for the South American, but the former Blaugrana boss has poured cold water on the rumours.
Guardiola has said on links to Messi: “He’s a player for Barcelona, he will stay there, that is my wish.
“I’m not going to talk about players for another club. I think he’s going to finish his career there, it’s my wish.”

Pep loves Barcelona more than anything else. Catalonia identity resides in Barca and Pep is very vocal about autonomy of Catalonia. So he will never do anything to upset this chain.
