JAKARTA - Manchester City are emerging as favorites to sign Lionel Messi if he does leave Barcelona. Not only that, Messi could even join his former teammate, Neymar.

The two South American superstars formed a deadly attack partnership in Barcelona from 2013 to 2017. This was coupled with Luis Suarez's prowess on the front lines of the legendary MSN.

Now, maybe there will be a Messi and Neymar reunion at the Etihad. That was conveyed by Jorge Nicola from ESPN Brasil.

According to Nicola, Messi called Neymar to discuss his plans to leave Camp Nou.

Messi reportedly told Neymar he was leaving for Manchester City, leaving the door open for the 28-year-old to join him on a major City project.

Neymar is currently enjoying his best season at Paris Saint-Germain but failed to win the Champions League trophy after PSG lost 0-1 to Bayern Munich in the final last week.

So far it is not known whether Neymar is interested in Messi's invitation to return to England.
