The silence says it all. Barca will finish top 2/3 next season. Then after that, they'll struggle.

It certainly doesIt simplifies things because rightly or wrongly, it's a tacit acknowledgment that the terms of his contract align with La Liga's interpretation now rather than the way his lawyers saw it. So paying a transfer fee or agreeing to a player swap (or both) now becomes the only practical option until May/June 2021.
But for me that should have been looked at scrutinised in great detail before this started
I would offer Angelino Garcia and circa 40 million deal done in the next 7 days or leave it
Very frustrating I’m sure for City as well
He isn't going to move in this transfer window
Agree. But imagine how he feels now it’s all calmed down. Barca were threatening legal action against Him (their greatest ever player). There is no coming back from that for me.

@tolmie's hairdoo going for the Barca president gig?Nothing changes with Bartolmeu still in charge
Are you in the ITK!?
Ironic that they think €25m for Garcia is too much for a player with 1 year remaining on his contract.......Just get the swap deal done and dusted!
Garcia doesn't even have a buyout clause for there to be irony
Only irony is that one player wants to leave Barca, the other wants to come back

The irony is that Bartomeu says That a Spain International La masia graduate isn't worth €25m because he has a year left yet a 33year old Messi is worth €700m

Perhaps you need to revisit the meaning of the word irony then. One has a contract with a transfer clause (700M), the other doesn't have any clause

As per Messi's representative his €700m bayout clause no longer exists he just didn't want to fight Barca in court!
And not only that what relevance does the boy out clause have to a players value? If a player has no clause then the selling club can set a value

Still gutted about this. I've been on a proper sulk since Friday. Can't believe how close we were to seeing the best player ever in a City shirt.
How does the 700 million matter? That is only a number if Barcelona don't want to sell him/negotiate. Barcelona can sell him for any amount they want. Infact not having a release clause would mean that Barcelona can't buy Garcia without City's approval. Barcelona could bid 700 million for Garcia and City could still decide if they wanted to sell or not. If anything the release clause goes against the club.Perhaps you need to revisit the meaning of the word irony then.

Nope. But nothing will happen with Bartomeu still in charge

I think the opposite, while he is still in charge, messi may be tempted out, once bart is out, he could be tempted to stay. Personal opinion.

No chance. Barcelona's president still holds the power

While bart is there, messi may want to leave but is unlikely to get to. With a new president, he is probably unlikely to get to, but may not want to either. So, still more likely with bartomeu there than not, imo.
Immaterial now anyway, as it seems he has accepted he is staying.
