100m is a hell of a lot to pay as courtesy. Can't see that (but then, couldn't see this tbh). No way would any club chose to pay that much if he has formally triggered a release. if anything, pay the going rate Fifa set for development of youth players and call it a day. And accept 10m for garcia, as courtesy.

I imagine if it is a technicality over a date vs the end of a season, it could be resolved quickly, in the circumstances, with multiple players workdwide having contracts automatically extended to cover this period of extra time, i imagine it woyld be hard to argua on barca's side.

Barcelona’s last League game was on July 19th. So really wondering if the end of June clause is applicable or not.

Messi on a free is a no brainer. But £100m+ is questionable imo.

Guillem Balague " My understanding is that Leo Messi and Guardiola haven't spoken. There has been plenty of interest in Messi but he has taken this step without having confirmed anything with anyone yet. And yes, that he really really wants to leave. This is not a negotiation or a power battle "

Balague is a KFA

The Best Striker in PL history, The Best Midfielder in PL history (if KDB's trajectory holds it's possible), thrown in with just....oh, I dunno...the greatest player of all time.

HAHAHA!

I'm going to have to run some numbers here... We could potentially have three 20 goal scorers with KDB and Messi pushing 15+ assists.

Conservative Estimations...
Kun - 20g + 3a.
KDB - 15g + 15a.
Messi - 25g + 12a.

That's without Raz, Mahrez, and Torres too. Silly season.

I think your numbers are modest.

KdB getting atleast 20 assists, KdB will have found a new lethal goal scorer to pass to (Messi) and Messi goals will go through the roof because he has someone who can finally feed him goals (KdB).

Literally the perfect pair.

Just had a thought. Surely if this was 100% happening silva would have stayed to at least play one season with Messi we gave him the option but he left you would think the chance to play with Messi would have made him stay

Feels more like this fell into City's lap. Barcelona humiliated 8-2 on the biggest stage. The manager had to go. And Barcelona, with all their financial problems, realise they had to pull the plug.

On holiday in turkey and all the snide kits either have
Messi on back of Barca
Neymar on back of PSG
CRap on back of Juventus

These are the only ones the kids want to wear

Just signing Messi brings a totally different global image of City

He is such a valuable asset to have in terms of global exposure and what a player to have in your line up

Agreed. Winning trophies is almost a secondary reason for signing messi. If the CFG want to grow the clubs profile even more, signing the best player in the world is how you do it.
 
Since Aguero is injured half the season always we'll play Messi as the false 9,the same role Guardiola used him in hs Barca days. That will also not compromise our defending too much. It will also allow KdB and Messi to link up freely.

Playing him with Aguero is difficult as seen with Argentina but right wing is obviously a possibility, just KdB needs to play more conservatively then as he needs to help out Walker defensively.

I’m just sat here giggling thinking about the absurdity of Leo Messi trying to link up with Kyle Walker on a flank. Hopefully he doesn’t read this I don’t want him to have second thoughts? Are there two more diametrically opposed footballers at the top today?
 
Tears in my eyes. I can see large number of neutrals and Messi fans already jumping ship, expect to see 50 million followers from India alone. Does Bluemoon have server capacity for that .

I can't comprehend why they would even consider taking messi to court. Completely undervalue their whole club mantra. I doubt any barca fan would want that. At this point, all they can hope for is some courtesy money, wont get his release clause, wont get him for another season. The bitterness of that ending wouldn't be worth it, and would be a shame to see. I don't expect them wanting to drag that out, another side shotshow to all that is going on right now is the last thing they need.

If he doesn't know, then who does? I doubt this has been instigated by City. The 8-2 triggered it. barca have to rebuild. That they have chosen to do so without Messi confirms that his powers are waning but for the moment City fans wont care. it is enough just to think about signing him.
