PSG 'Working on' Signing Lionel Messi, Man City Says It's Not

It seems to be Paris or bust for Lionel Messi.

Following Barcelona's bombshell announcement on Thursday that the 10-time La Liga champion won't be returning to the club that he has called home since 2000, Paris Saint-Germain has confirmed that it is in talks with Messi.

"Of course [signing Messi] is a possibility," PSG manager Mauricio Pochettino said in a press conference Friday. "The club is working on it and if there is any information we will communicate it as soon as possible."

Manchester City, supposedly PSG's main rival for six-time Ballon d'Or winner's signature, appears to have removed itself from the Messi sweepstakes.
