Manchester City, under the guidance of Pep Guardiola, has had a great season so far, and with the addition of Lionel Messi, the club could make history by winning a treble.

Messi, who is set to leave PSG this summer after the expiration of his contract, has been suspended by the club, making him available for a reunion with his former boss.

Barcelona and teams in Saudi Arabia are leading the chase to sign him, but City could be his last chance to play in the Premier League, the league that many define as the best in world football.

MANCHESTER, ENGLAND - FEBRUARY 12: The Manchester City players form a huddle before the Premier League match between Manchester City and Aston Villa at Etihad Stadium on February 12, 2023 in Manchester, United Kingdom.

Daily Star Sport has analyzed how Manchester City could line up with the addition of Messi in their ranks.

In this possible formation, Ederson would play in goal, and Nathan Ake would continue at left-back.

Kyle Walker, Ruben Dias, and John Stones would join him in defense.

In midfield, Rodri would be the mainstay, with Bernardo Silva and Kevin De Bruyne.

Messi’s potential arrival could see Riyad Mahrez pushing for a move, and Julian Alvarez could be pushing for a starting berth.

Messi’s role as a tourism ambassador in Saudi Arabia could also lead to a lucrative move, with Xavi talking up a reunion with Messi following his tearful departure in 2021.

Although Messi has been suspended for heading to the Middle East without the permission of his club, he is still set to bag another Ligue 1 winners’ medal in the coming weeks, after registering 15 goals and 15 assists in the league alone this season, with another four Champions League goals before their early exit.
