Messi debunks Chelsea and Manchester City transfer speculation

Diminutive Barcelona forward, Lionel Messi has denied rumours suggesting he wants to leave the Spanish side and move to either Chelsea and Manchester City in the English Premier League.

The Argentine captain has been linked with a transfer to England’s top-flight, and in particular Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea side, in recent weeks after allegedly falling out with Barca boss, Luis Enrique.

Messi has now come out to address the rumours after telling Barca TV that stories about him wanting to join Chelsea and City are ‘all lies’. He said following the club’s 3-1 win over Atletico Madrid on Sunday: “I have never demanded anything to stay because I don’t have any intention of going”.
