Transfer news and rumours LIVE: Man City target Barcelona star Lionel Messi

Lionel Messi to Manchester City? PSG poaching Neymar proves stranger things have already happened this summer, and Barcelona may be in danger of losing another top forward.

According to the Daily Record, Man City met with Messi's team in a Barcelona restaurant last week to discuss a potential reunion with Pep Guardiola in the Premier League.

Messi's new contract is yet to be signed, and the sale of the Argentine's close friend Neymar - who formed part of Barca's devastating front trio along with Luis Suarez - has reportedly led the Argentine to consider his future at the Camp Nou.

London's top sides are also busy in the market, with Chelsea and Tottenham still planning on recruiting new faces after their Wembley war resulted in a 2-1 win for Antonio Conte's champions.

Crystal Palace and West Ham are also set to make waves in the market, while Arsenal's top priority appears to be moving on members of Arsene Wenger's bloated squad for acceptable fees.
