Just In: Pep Guardiola speaks about signing Messi to Man City

Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola has stated that he has no interest in signing Lionel Messi. The former Barcelona manager said even when he moved to Bayern Munich, he never inquired about the Argentine.

“When I left Barcelona and went to Bayern Munich and Manchester City I never asked Messi to come here,” Evening Standard quoted Guardiola as saying ahead of City’s Premier League clash with Southampton.

“I never went to both clubs and said I want this player.

“I know how important he is for Barcelona. I never made the first step to say I want this player. Never.

“I said a thousand times I want him to stay at Barcelona. I want that.”
