The rumor is that for now it looks like Pep is starting to look for loopholes to bring Messi to Manchester City but for me this is a risky action that even seems ridiculous for Pep to do.
Although we know that Messi is still considered one of the Goats for now but with his age now and has never felt the EPL's interest before it is clear that this is a gamble to do if in the end they want to improve performance.
For the value in terms of sponsorship maybe this can still be considered but when talking about trying to improve performance by bringing Messi this is a risky action especially with his current age. Unless in the end there is special treatment just like Messi always feels in the MLS today maybe it can still be considered lol

Yes, with the physicality and the high demands of the Premier League and also the crisis in which Manchester City are in, bringing in Messi at his age into the club would be of little advantage to City. Is Pep going to rebuild the team around Messi if he comes? Messi is going to be very expensive instead of spending all that money on one player, they can buy two or three players who can add quality and depth to the team.

.Messi is still one of the icons of soccer and we cannot close the facts about this but in the end making him in the EPL with hot tension every season and he has never been in the EPL even though this is clearly not something that I think can end well because apart from adaptation, he also needs extra effort at his age if he really wants to be in the EPL and is still considered one of the goats.
I quite doubt this can happen because after all rather than Messi it would be better for Pep to find one of the players who can build and become an initiator in midfield for Manchester City because after all they are still weak in this initiator and Messi is too old for that.
He recovered from his injury by the end of September.
