SkySports, citing a Spanish football insider, says the Premiership side are no longer keen on the 33-year-old player due to his age and his estimated 100 million euros-a-year wages.

City were said to be one of the few clubs in the world who could afford Messi, who is out of a contract at Barca at the end of the season.

Separately, Juventus have rubbished recent reports that Cristiano Ronaldo could be leaving the Serie A champions soon.
