Former Manchester United striker Terry Gibson believes Barcelona face losing Lionel Messi.
Gibson reckons a transfer to cash rich Manchester City or Paris St-Germain could possibly be upon the agenda.
I always thought Lionel Messi, like Andres Iniesta and Xavi, would spend the bulk from the serious section of his career at Barcelona, Gibson told La Liga Weekly.
For a long time I found it a challenge to envisage how anyone could afford to bring Messi far from Barcelona, but now we have seen the emergence of Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain.
Now I am taking a look at the very fact he is got merely a year left on his contract.
“I think the new contract offer is valued at €24m-a-year but when he was available on the free transfer Barca's offer would get dwarfed.
“If a PSG or perhaps a Manchester City can purchase an out-of-contract Messi we're talking, using the price of players now, €100m, €150m, €200m.
