Messi's cousin said Leo would be a perfect fit for Manchester City

Maxi Biancucchi urges Leo to play where he feels happy.

He believes that Messi would be a great asset for Man City but is still hopeful for him to come to Newell's Old Boys.

"I don't think Messi has to play with friends, he has to find a place where he is happy.

If he was happy in Barcelona, ​​he would have stayed there. He has to pay attention to what he feels," Leo's cousin Maxi Biancucchi has told Ole.

"I never imagined that Leo could leave Barcelona. Of all the teams that are named, I think Leo would fit well at Man City.

Messi is good people, good kid, that's why it hurts me a lot when he is criticised for decision-making as they say he builds teams.

"I am hopeful that at some point Leo will be able to play at Newell's," the Argentine concluded.

Earlier in April, Biancucchi said that Messi's exit was 'something very personal' suggesting that Leo's entourage knew something no one else did.

As things stand, the Argentine is most likely to end up at Manchester City. However, such destinations as Inter Milan and Juventus are still on the radar.
