    NEWS BRITANNIA: Man Utd in £50m bid; new Messi to Man City talk

    Manchester City believe they are in pole position to sign Lionel Messi – but only if he one day decides to leave Barcelona.Their interest has been peaked by claims on Monday by former Blaugrana president Joan Laporta that there is a conspiracy at the Nou Camp to get rid of the five-time Ballon d’Or winner. "There are certain powers who want Messi to no longer be a Barca player,’ Laporta told Catalunya Radio.The club has let the player down, the best player in history, the best player in the world. We have a president and a board that didn’t accompany him when he had to testify in court".

    Manchester United are ready to rival Manchester City for Juventus centre-back Leonardo Bonucci, according to reports. The defender, 29, has been linked with a £50million switch to Man City as Pep Guardiola bids to beef up his central defence with neither Eliaquim Mangala or Nicolas Otamendi totally convincing alongside Vincent Kompany. But Jose Mourinho also intends to strengthen his central defence and the Manchester Evening News claim the United boss has also identified Bonucci and is preparing a £50million bid. However, the paper claims that with United closing in on a world record deal for Paul Pogba, the club are unlikely to sell another of their key men to the club and ‘would prefer’ to do business with City for the player.
