Hes basically saying he won't sign a new contract under this board, which means his contract will have run out by the time any new president is in place, so letting the current board know they risk losing him for nothing.

Massive risk to keep him, they could get 100 m for him or lose him for nothing.

I can tell you there was absolutely no quotes that stated his family wouldn't move to Manchester. I've seen the whole interview so I'm confident with that. Messi was coming until barca refused to sell, you think his family wouldnt of come with him.

I just feel that because its messi clubs would pay it to get him.

I disagree he will still be worth that,

Says who.

Big risk if hes not signed a new deal by Jan, to wait to see if a board change keeps him at the club. Gambling on a 100 mill assett going for nothing.

Legally yes, morally no.

He will certainly have no say on Messi which is what the mail article was alluding too. Also its very unlikely hes there after next season.

Hes not bigger than Messi, he won't win that fight.

Like Koeman has any say, hes a puppet for year thats it

This is a great point. We all know this is political and he doesn't want to be the man that sold Messi, but its much worse for them if messi signs a pre contract in January

I think there has been too much been put in that part on the interview, I think that was more of a ploy to push his point of how desperate he was to leave.

Tolmies info has been spot on all through this saga, as it usually is. Unbelievable how it all played out to a tune. For what its worth I dont think its over yet either not unless messi signs a new deal at barca which I just can't see happening. Be interesting to hear what your contacts think...

I agree but, my point was that until we hear anything, the 4 possibilities are still valid, which based on the flapping since lunch you would of thought otherwise.

Funny that as most seemed to be flapping that the deals dead

I can see 4 outcomes here as we stand. 1. The reports are correct and messi has decided to stay for the last year of his contract, due to being unable to find a way to leave amicably. 2. The reports are correct and messi has changed his mind and will stay and he will sign a new deal. 3. The...

I agree mate I'm not fussed on what that you tuber said, more the storys that barca want the release clause or nothing. If messi really wants out they have to negotiate they will have no choice.

Let's be clear if Messi stays at Barca then its because he wants to and has had a change of mind. If he truly wants to go then does anyone really think Barca can hold on to him. In the end Barca will have to negotiate they would have no choice. A messi who is fully determined to go does not...

Glad I'm off work this week, as I'm mot sure I'd get anything done at this point. Excited isn't the word.
