According to Manchester City defender Pablo Zabaleta, FC Barcelona star asks about the Manchester lifestyle and the defender is desperate to persuade the superstar to join the Premier League with City.

The Agrentinian pair are good friends and they will go head-to-head on Tuesday night in the Champions League as Barca travel to England to play City, and Zabaleta is keen to have a word with his counterpart and wants to try and persuade him to join City.

Although leaving Barcelona isn’t likely for Messi, City may be at the top of the list if the Argentine was to leave the Nou Camp, and Zabaleta gets excited by the thoughts of having the superstar at the Etihad Stadium.

“Yeah, I have spoken to Leo about City,” said Zabaleta.

“When i came to City, after three or four months I went back to Barcelona because we had a couple of days off. I went to Leo’s house and everybody was talking about the new owners and the big money.

“Leo has asked me what it is like to be here.

“I would like to show him around Manchester. Maybe i could take him out to Didsbury and we could have some fish and chips. I think he would like that!”

Zabaleta is close friends with Messi after they spent time with each other in the same city in Spain during the defender’s stint at Espanyol.

“We were living in the same city, and spent three years as friends, going out,” added Zabaleta.

“We were young, single…Yes, they were very good times.

“Success hasn’t changed Leo. He has won everything in the game, but he is the same person he was when he was a nobody.”
