Manchester City Use Fall Guys In Messi Transfer Rumors
Lionel Messi transfer rumors are bursting at the seams after he reportedly told Barcelona he finally wants to leave, and now Pep Guardiola's Manchester City are teasing fans with the possibility of only using the Fall Guys.
The game's popularity has skyrocketed recently, with over a million people following its unusual Twitter account, and thousands of people rushing into battle in search of their first victory.
Along with this brief success story of Mediatonic developers in the world of football, Barcelona seems to be at a crossroads. ESPN , The New York Times and many other major media outlets report that the Argentine asked to have his contract terminated after an embarrassing 8-2 defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League semi-finals.
As a bidding war could fly off the charts, there is one team (and one manager) in particular that is closely tied to history and that is Manchester City and Pep Guardiola.
Rumors about Messi and Manchester City
Pep enjoyed huge success managing the Catalan club, where he led teams to two European Cups, three La Liga and even won the title of the best coach in the world a couple of times.
Naturally, fans think the Spaniard may be eyeing a reunion with Messi and could take him to Manchester in the transfer window. With fans clearly not believing in this prospect and likely searching the internet for any information they can get about the possibility of seeing Messi in sky blue next season, their Twitter account is having a pretty busy day.
August 26 them esports account tweeted a photo of a Fall Guys character with his head hidden. Their headline read: Who do you think our new contract with Manchester city " ? It was later retweeted by the main account.
Wait...who could it be? 🤔 https://t.co/GDyR56me0c

The chances of Messi actually being announced in this way are very unlikely and any potential transfer is speculation anyway at this stage.
Man City x Fall Guys crossover skin revealed
One of the great things about the Fall Guys account admin is their high praise for crossover designs. Many influencers and companies sent in their own which were circulated - like Ninja, G2 Esports, Mr Beast and more.
Now Man City have pulled their own and we can't figure out if that's cute or ugly.

Exclusive skin coming soon?
Manchester City have reached anticipation for the design of their crossover but have not confirmed anything.
In the future, this may be a new exclusive skin for Fall Guys, similar to the skin crossover character from Portal 2, released August 22. Football fans may soon have another suit to choose from, and it looks pretty cool based on the pictures we've seen so far.
Although at the time of writing this has not been confirmed. In the meantime, we can all hope we don't see that big smile anytime soon.
