Jamie Carragher has explained which Premier League side would be the ideal destination for Barcelona star Lionel Messi after his transfer request.
Chelsea, Man City and Manchester United have all been linked with the 33-year-old superstar, with Pep Guardiola's men the favourites to sign Messi if he does leave Barcelona.
Liverpool have been thrown in the mix too as transfer season gets silly, with Jurgen Klopp already dismissing the idea of going for the six-time Ballon d'Or winner.
Realistically, Carragher feels that only City can pull off the transfer for Messi and he firmly believes it would be the perfect place for his skillset as well from a technical standpoint.
But Carragher would just like to see Messi in the Premier League regardless of where he was to end up.
Asked if he wants to see Messi in the Premier League, Carragher said: "I hope so, I do. I would love to see Messi in the Premier League. I want to watch him, I want to analyse him on Monday Night Football and all of those things.
"The obvious place he can only go is Man City.
"With the history he has got with the manager and the financial clout that club have got, I don't think Liverpool would go near that situation financially.
"Also because of the way Liverpool play, they are a lot more energetic than City.
"City are much more technical and that may suit Messi a bit more.
"But how you get that deal across the line with the figures involved, I'm not sure. It's mind-blowing."
