PSG the most likely threat here tbf.

More glamorous place to live, easier league, CL finalists so not "far away", chance to reunite with Neymar, big ass wages.

Not sure how Neymar and Mbappe would feel about it. Neymar basically left to get out of his shadow and prove himself elsewhere. I don't doubt they are mates but professionally Neymar would probably be unhappy.

This is how it can be done:
1. Messi negotiates release cause down 200m with Barca
2. A company buys Messi's rights for the next few years (for certain appearances or whatever) for the same amount
3. Messi submits the amount to La liga and becomes a free agent
4. Messi walks into City
5. City have no FFP issues whatsoever

The company that buys Messi's rights is unrelated to City but friendly. If the owners really want it, and Messi is not bluffing, it's going to happen.

No need, he is legally entitled to buy out the last year of his contract under the Webster ruling/Article 17 for a fraction of that amount

Every instinct tells me if he leaves there will only be one place he rocks up.
That said, there's always that tiny doubt and in football you can't rule anything out, ever.
I'll be wounded if he went anywhere else! Haha!

PSG just trying to piss off City owners prolly. Nothing serious.

Messi won't leave Barça for no reason. He already has a salary that can't be topped at Barca. So what is the important criteria bar the money for him ?

A working environment he can trust. A coach and management he has already won with. This is something only City can offer. This is why there are so many reports about him contacting Guardiola.

If it was about money alone, he would stay at Barça. City provide everything he is asking for now.
 
I always believed that he'd end up here if he did ever leave Barca. The only problem was that it never looked like he wanted to leave. The situation is very different now. I honestly can't see him staying. Why waste his twilight years at a club that needs to undergo an enormous multi-year rebuild? Difficult to see this not happening now!

If we stopped talking about every source that sometimes makes things up there would really be very little to go on. Ric would also have to get the ban hammer out big time...

If we signed Messi, can we also buy Koulibaly ?

Absolutely essential we get another CD
The Messi deal will need to allow that
If de Laurentis is hanging out for £90million we will not be signing Koulibaly but you can bet we have someone else lined up...

He has a release clause that entitles him to leave for free which he has to inform Barca each May that he intends to activate FIFA extended the normal end of season stipulations due to Covid so he will argue that he is entitled to extend the May deadline
