Manchester City’s Possible Starting XI for the 2020/21 Season!

September 4, 2020
Manchester City’s Possible Starting XI for the 2020/21 season has the potential to be world conquering. This is after the Abu Dhabi owned club seem to be the front runners in the pursuit of Lionel Messi. Lionel Messi is linked with the super wealthy Qatari owned Paris Saint Germain and Abu Dhabi owned Manchester City. But even with the wealth that these two clubs possess, they still have to liaise with FFP (Financial Fair Play), so a move for Messi is contingent on a few things. Firstly, Messi would have to leave on a free or for very little money because that’s the only way to balance his extraordinary weekly wages. Messi’s yearly income from Barcelona is reported to be between 80 & 100 million euros. A move to Manchester City is strongly linked because of Messi’s previous relationship with current Man City super coach Pep Guardiola. The 2 worked together between 2008 and 2012, with Messi claiming a staggering 4 Ballon d’Ors in this period, so they work well together. Manchester City’s playing style is probably the most eye-catching in the world and they command a majority possession in literally all their games. This provides the Argentine platform to display his abilities as they’re always in possession of the ball. Messi can interchange with Sergio Aguero or Gabriel Jesus. With the signings of Nathan Ake and Ferran Torres already confirmed, this is how Man City could potentially look like next season with the possible addition of Lionel Messi. Goalkeeper: Ederson Moraes Right-Back: Kyle Walker/Joao Cancelo Centre-Back: Nathan Ake Centre-Back: Aymeric Laporte Left-Back: Benjamin Mendy Central Midfield: Rodrigo Central Midfield: Kevin De Bruyne Attacking Midfield: Lionel Messi Right-Wing: Rhiyad Mahrez Left-Wing: Raheem Sterling Forward: Sergio Aguero/Gabriel Jesus Pep Guardiola is probably the most complex manager in history, so his current myriad of high quality players plus the addition of Lionel Messi would signal strong intent from Manchester City.
