Manchester City forward Sergio Aguero has seemingly hinted that he would welcome the arrival of Barcelona forward Lionel Messi.
On Tuesday evening, it was revealed that the legendary Argentine had formally handed in a transfer request in a bid to force through an exit this summer.
Although Barcelona remain keen to keep hold of the 33-year-old, City are one of a number of clubs who are interested in the superstar.
Aguero, idolised at the Etihad Stadium like Messi is at Camp Nou, has responded to the speculation by removing the number 10 from his Instagram, something which could be perceived to be a gesture towards his compatriot.
Messi is synonymous with that particular shirt number, which he wears ahead of Aguero when the pair represent their national team.
Father Jorge Messi has allegedly travelled to England to hold discussions with the Premier League giants.
Atletico Madrid 'willing to offer Arsenal three players for Alexandre Lacazette'

Atletico Madrid are reportedly prepared to hand Arsenal a choice of three players in a bid to push through a part-exchange deal for Alexandre Lacazette.
Having found himself in and out of the starting lineup under Mikel Arteta, the Gunners may be open to parting ways with the France international this summer.
For a number of months, Atletico have been among several clubs who are said to hold an interest in the attacker, who has scored 48 goals during his three years at the Emirates Stadium.
According to Marca, the Spanish giants want to boost their chances of signing the 29-year-old by giving Arsenal the opportunity to take their pick from a list of three players.
Rather than long-term Arsenal target Thomas Partey, the report says that Thomas Lemar, Angel Correa and Vitolo are the trio who have been mentioned.
Lacazette has two years remaining on his Arsenal contract.
