Messi in unhappy with life at the Nou Camp after clashing with Barca boss Luis Enrique.The Spanish giants are currently in crisis with club president Josep Maria Bartemeu calling early elections.
And Messi is ready to QUIT Barca, should a Premier League club be willing to shell out £500m for his services.A source told The Sun: "Leo's minded to leave Barca. He is completely fed up with so many things at the club that it is difficult to see a way forward."
Messi has a reported £210m release clause that Chelsea or City would have to activate to snare him.
And the 27-year-old would expect a six-year deal worth a staggering £45m annually - worth a total £270m.
Therefore the transfer fee and contract cost to lure Messi from Barca would cost either Prem club just short of £500m.
