'No one has talked about Messi' - Garcia

The Argentine's possible next club has been the subject of intense debate across the world, though apparently not at the City training ground

Manchester City players have not discussed the prospect of Lionel Messi joining the club from Barcelona despite rumours he could make a move to the Etihad Stadium, says defender Eric Garcia.

The six-time Ballon d'Or winner has told Barcelona he wants to leave and did not show up for the first day of pre-season training under Ronald Koeman on Monday.

He remains in dispute with the Catalan giants over the possible terms of his departure, with  Goal  reporting that he considers his current contract,  which is due to expire in 2021, to already be finished.
