Lionel Messi 'considering U-turn over Barcelona future'

Lionel Messi is reportedly considering reversing his decision to leave Barcelona during this summer's transfer window.

Lionel Messi is reportedly considering a dramatic U-turn over his decision to leave Barcelona and could now remain with the club during this summer's transfer window.

The Argentina international recently informed Barca that he wants to leave in the current window, and Manchester City are believed to be the favourites to sign him.

Messi's father and agent travelled to Spain on Wednesday to hold talks with the Catalan giants, but it is understood that the discussions did not bring a resolution to the situation.

According to TyC Sports, the South American is now considering seeing out the final year of his contract with the La Liga side and is '90% likely to stay'.

The report claims that the 33-year-old will take Thursday to consider his options, having been asked by senior figures at Camp Nou to reverse his decision to depart.

On Wednesday it was claimed that Messi had agreed a £623m deal with City Football Group, which would see him represent Man City for three years before moving to the MLS to turn out for New York City FC.
