MANCHESTER CITY fans are convinced they will sign Lionel Messi after pal Sergio Aguero reportedly removed the No10 from his Instagram handle.
City’s star striker has apparently given up the number on his social media profile, indicating that Messi – who also wears the No10 shirt – could be on his way to the Etihad.

The pair both play up front together for Argentina.
And Aguero’s reported move has led some to believe that Messi could indeed be reunited with Pep Guardiola’s before October’s transfer deadline.
One fan tweeted: “Sergio Aguero just changed his Instagram username from ‘kunaguero10’ to ‘kunaguero’.
“Omg I can’t believe my eyes right now.”
Another said: “Sergio Aguero removed 10 from his Instagram username, lawd it’s really happening.”
One noted: “Kun Aguero changing his Instagram username from kunaguero10 to kunaguero.
“Hmmm! What could that mean?”
Another exclaimed: “Aguero removes ’10’ from his Instagram username! It’s happening.”
One added: “Aguero has changed his username from Kunaguero10 to Kunaguero on Instagram.
“It’s done y’all. Lionel Andres Messi is leaving to Manchester City under Pep.”
City are favourites to sign Messi after he told Barcelona he wants to leave using a controversial free transfer clause in his contract.
Reports claim Messi’s father is already in Manchester negotiating the transfer.
And Guardiola’s assistant fuelled speculation further by posting a picture of Messi to social media along with the caption: “It’s time to help you be happy.”
