That clause might exist because without it there's no way Messi ever leaves Barcelona without running his contract down. The initial agreement was probably made in happier times when there was a lot more faith from both parties that things would always be rosy.
He’s a smart lad, he knows signing for City is better than any record of Pele’s.He was 10 goals away from breaking Pele's record for most official goals at 1 club...
Stupid yes, but it was probably put together at a time where the idea of Messi forcing his way out would be beyond imagination. It does look bad in hindsight.Agreeing to waive 100m at least, while paying him relative to the value as an asset? as i say, the stupidity would be astounding

Er....what?Ok, seems it really IS genuine.
There hasn't been any hint that we'd be interested.

Sounds about right to be fairThe year is 2021. City are in the CL semi finals and will play Shakhtar Donetsk. In an effort to disrupt and confuse the Shakhtar defence, Pep Guardiola has placed Lionel Messi on the bench and will deploy İlkay Gündoğan on the flank...
No hint? Was Khaldoon saying ‘we’re signing players outside the usual age bracket’ not a hint? Or ‘some opportunities present themselves and you have to go for it’ - didn’t just sound like Koulibaly to me.Ok, seems it really IS genuine.
