Agent Mino Raiola has some advice for Lionel
Messi: Leave Barcelona to prove your greatness.

Messi has agreed a new deal with Barcelona
but that contract remains unsigned amid uncertainty over the five-time Ballon
d'Or winner's future at Camp Nou.
With the 30-year-old yet to put pen to paper,
Manchester City – managed by former Barca boss Pep Guardiola – have emerged as
a possible destination.
Raiola does not represent Messi but the
Italy-born Dutchman – whose list of clients includes Paul Pogba, Romelu Lukaku,
Marco Verratti, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Zlatan Ibrahimovic – believes the time
is right for a change.

"A player like Messi must try another
experience with a different club and prove how great he is," Raiola said
via Marca.
"Barcelona must be reinvented
again."
Messi is Barcelona's all-time leading
goalscorer, helping the Catalan giants to 29 trophies, including eight LaLiga
titles and four Champions League crowns.
Raiola also shared his views on Neymar's
world-record transfer to Paris Saint-Germain.
PSG activated Neymar's €222million release
clause to lure the Brazil international from Barca earlier in August.
"The market, as such, no longer exists.
Now it is countries who are signing players and that isn't football,"
Raiola added.
