I'm hopeful that behind all the posturing and media guesswork there is actually an adult debate going on between city, messi and barca to find as close as possible to a win-win for all concerned. Messi coming here and them getting a little bit more than they are strictly / legally entitled to in order to buy Southampton players off Liverpool.

They will be looking for a pragmatic way out of this mess, of that I am certain.

Whatever you do, don't let Barca know.

It shouldn’t be. I’ve been told that it’ll take 7-10 days for this to play out. There’ll be a lot of briefs in that time.

A big issue has been Jorge Messi getting to Spain from Argentina due to COVID. Until he gets there nothing will happen IMO.


Barto wants to sell he just wants as big a fee as possible.

FFS Don't they have Zoom in Argentina?

Jorge can use my zoom account if that speeds things up. He’ll have to wrap it up in 40 minutes though as I haven’t paid for the premium version :)
 
One thing that is making me uneasy is the view of many Barca fans online. Many seem to think that Bartomeu is an idiot who will fuck things up by being greedy. Most seem resigned to Messi going with many feeling it would be best for all sides and would take either a player or a reasonable amount from City to start a rebuild but have no faith in Bartomeu doing this because of his ego. Barca fans believe he just doesn't want to be the one who let Messi go and since he is going soon he thinks this makes him look strong. If we are dealing with an ego like that then there may be no sensible way to resolve this.

Are you speaking as a fan or as a fan who knows a bit more than a normal fan?

A fan of 20 years who recognizes when Leo has made his mind up about something, coupled with the knowledge of how my club operates

You filter through all the noise and what is clear is the following:

1) Leo wants to leave Barca = he has never given this impression before and if there was such a rumour in the past, him or his people have responded via social media to squash it. That is not the case now. That seems like a small detail but it's key because it's consistent with the player

2) Leo wants to go to City - again, similar to first point

3) Barto seeks to limit the damage and fallout from said exit by positioning himself as favorably as possible - this is also consistent with him

The only question marks are around the costs of the operation - mostly if there will be a fee, player exchange etc. that Barto will accept. The other question is whether this simply is a chess match being played out in the public domain to seek the path of least resistance while achieving your primary objectives - that applies for both Leo & Barto

Messi loves the club and would not want to hurt it proactively but I am sure he would love to leave Barto on the hook for a massive fallout - the anger & mistrust runs deep. But both sides recognize how big this is and will want to be careful

The will of the player is clear, that's what matters most to me - how we get there, impossible to predict but we will get there

It's going to be a Lewandowski to Blackburn scenario all over again
