I would be VERY surprised if Laporta allowed anyone but him to announce that Messi's decided to stay.

For me there are only two potential bombshells - he's joining PSG OR he's retiring. Joining City or staying are the two most obviously and likely outcomes and neither is a bombshell.
PSG would be a kick in the balls to be honest Ahsan
 
They have had that for a few good years and didn’t show anything. Nor did Messi for that matter. Maradonna and Tevez being more popular says enough.
They reached the next to last World Cup final mate and lost in extra time. They've reached 2 or 3 Copa finals as well, they've not been far off tbf.

I think you're using your definition of bombshell predicated on you expecting him to join City.

For 99% of the world him announcing he was joining City or leaving Barcelona at all would be a massive bombshell.
 
The same people who think we should buy Messi probably think we should buy Ronaldo. He scores for Juve against no-hopers but against quality opposition tonight he hardly got a touch. Similar situation to Messi.

You’re right about Ronaldo. Wrong about messi. But I agree we shouldn’t sign either
 
Messi isn’t coming. Agüero is sadly going. But long term we’ll be better off. Genuinely think we’ll entice Haaland or Felix this summer.

Have to disagree on that, Messi leaving Barca and it being confirmed is still a bombshell as far as the media are concerned, it would be huge news no matter where he went.

Agreed. Coming to City would be categorized as a bombshell.

Don't think it would be,IMO.
Would think everyone is expecting one of three things....1...he stays at Barca...2...he comes to City...3...he goes to PSG.
Anything other than those three,would be a bombshell....just my opinion.
 
Does bombshell mean something unexpected. Like say leaving Barca and join City. I would hardly class staying at Barca as a bombshell.
 
The journalist is the one who broke Neymar to PSG and also the one who broke Messi's burofax last Summer so there should be high hopes for it being a genuine 'bombshell'.
 
Given that he said he wanted to leave last year it would be somewhat
It would not be a bombshell thou would it? You would not be left open mouthed at the news he was staying would you? Indeed, isn't a bombshell something that creates a certain amount of damage? Unless the Spanish media have a different astonishment level associated to 'bombshells'. I would say an individual informing their management at their workplace that they are intending to leave is indeed a bombshell. This is then in management's court. But who knows? <caveat>
