Man City Transfers: 10 DREAM Signings Manuel Pellegrini Could Make

3. Lionel Messi

Could Manchester City pull off the impossible and sign Lionel Messi? It was reported last month that City are looking to pull off an unlikely-but-astonishing deal for the Barcelona legend after his relationship with the Catalans soured. It would take a world-transfer-record-busting bid to make such a sensational move happen, and though it may sound far-fetched, City are about the only club in world football who have the funds to see it through. The Citizens have emerged as a serious European powerhouse in recent times and a move to the Etihad is becoming increasingly more appealing to Messi. Playing alongside his Argentinian teammate Sergio Aguero is also another alluring factor, and a change of scenery following a decade at Barcelona, and with it a fresh challenge, could be what is necessary to re-take the Ballon d'Or award and prove once more that he is the world's greatest.
