Reports in Spain suggested
big-spending City had tabled €50million plus striker Mario Balotelli to bring
Argentina ace Messi to the Etihad Stadium but Barca had rejected the bid.
However, Bartomeu insists no such offer
was made.
He told : "Our policy is not
to sell our stars but on this subject it certainly did not (happen)."
Meanwhile, Bartomeu made no guarantees
over the future of Barca coach Pep Guardiola but hopes the Spaniard will stay
on at Camp Nou.
The Barca chief added: "The
decision lies with Pep but we hope to go on with him on the bench."
