Javier Tebas has expressed worry over a potential exit from La Liga of FC Barvelona superstar Lionel Messi.
La Liga President, Tebas is concerned with news making the rounds that Premier League club, Manchester City may be looking to tempt Messi with a move to England as early as January.
Tebas sensational added that the Premier League club do not work within the laws of the Financial Fair Play rules.
Messi made his desire to leave Barcelona known in the summer, and looked set for a reunion with his former boss Pep Guardiola in Manchester, only to perform a u-turn after the Blaugrana wouldn’t let him rescind his contract.
Yet Tebas is still fearful that LaLiga Santander could lose its biggest star due to the way Manchester City operate.
“Messi concerns me because Manchester City compete outside the rules. It’s not only me who has complained [but] also [Liverpool coach Jurgen] Klopp or [Tottenham coach Jose] Mourinho. City are no longer affected by COVID, nor the pandemic or the super-pandemic because they play with other rules,” Tebas said at a press conference.
Reports in England as recently as November 3 mention that Manchester City will once again attempt to lure Messi to the Premier League.
However, they would not be negotiating with the same people at Barcelona that they would have last summer, as Josep Maria Bartomeuhas since resigned from the presidency.
