It is common for football clubs to have a media watch segment on their official website keeping a tab of all news surrounding the club. However, it is not very common for clubs to involve themselves with rumours of this magnitude.
It is unlikely that Messi will ever leave Barcelona. However, if he does ever leave, City would count themselves as a very possible destination. They are among the very few clubs that could both match Messi’s ambitions on the field and his wage demands off it.
So as shocking as the act may seem, it is not out of the realm of possibility. Although, this is still a highly unusual act for a club as big as City.
