The English club are putting things in place should they be given the green light to sign Messi
Whilst Barcelona and Lionel Messi try to find a solution to the player's desire to leave, Manchester City are putting things in place should a transfer happen. City won't get involved in the negotiations whilst there's a risk of being dragged to court, which is why they are waiting for Leo and Barça to reach a conclusion.
However, that doesn't mean City are doing nothing. According to Brazilian journalist Marcelo Bechler, Pep Guardiola's side have already asked for a producer to create a video detailing Messi's career to date so it can be part of Leo's presentation.
City are aware that signing Messi should be presented as a big deal. Knowing the saga could drag out for a while yet, City are trying to get as much ready as possible. If the deal goes go through, no expense - or detail - will be spared by the English club.
