Vassell: Guardiola can bring stars like Messi to Man City

Darius Vassell believes Pep Guardiola will bring in superstars at Manchester City and does not rule out Lionel Messi joining.

Incoming manager Pep Guardiola will be able to lure superstars to Manchester City and a move for Lionel Messi is not out of the question, according to former City striker Darius Vassell.

Bayern Munich head coach Guardiola has agreed to a three-year deal to take over from Manuel Pellegrini at the end of the season despite City remaining in the running to win the quadruple this season.

Vassell, who played for City between 2005 and 2009, feels the former Barcelona boss' arrival will take the club to a new level and thinks the likes of Messi will want to come to play for him.
