Reports circulate that Josep Guardiola, the head coach of Manchester City, could take on a new challenge with Paris Saint-Germain. Sources claim the Spaniard might depart City if financial fair play concerns lead to sanctions against the club.
In this scenario, PSG would be ready to welcome Guardiola, potentially reuniting him with Lionel Messi, the Argentine forward he previously mentored at Barcelona.
Messi has begun his second season in Paris. He left Barcelona in 2021 and has since appeared in 25 matches across all competitions this term, recording 15 goals and 14 assists for PSG.
Messi, a Barcelona academy product who debuted in 2004, collected 35 titles with the Catalan club and has earned the Ballon d’Or six times over the course of his illustrious career.
The discussion comes amid renewed attention on Manchester City after a list of financial fair play charges was reported by the Premier League, with uncertainty lingering over Guardiola’s future should penalties be imposed. The situation has prompted speculation about whether Guardiola would explore a move to PSG without a contractual penalty, should such sanctions affect his current club.
