If it is one of the pre recorded ones, were led to believe there is only one narrative and that is he wants to leave?

he may of course Have recorded a video proclaiming is undying love for Barcelona, aswell as the one saying he wants to leave. I’ll be amazed that the Messi camp didn’t see all this coming before he downed tools . All seems odd, but seems far from over this one, no way will he sign an extended contract, that’s the key to all of this.

Was reported previously also would speak.. Nothing came off it

He was, then la liga announced they were siding with Barcelona's stance on his contract.

Hopefully it will be the prerecorded interview @tolmie's hairdoo referred to. My only concern is that there still seems to be a naivety at City, apparently taking players or representatives at their word and end up embarrassed.

We had it last year with Jorginho and previously with Dani Alves. If Messi decides to stay after all, despite our protestations to the contrary, it would look like we’ve been played again.

100% agreed

The club have made no statements nor indicated any involvement.

This maybe?



“Messi’s father met his son and told him he had to stay in Barcelona”

if it’s true, that’s actually a good gambit. Obvs don’t know the financial side of things but I’d wager that indebted as they are Barça can’t afford to rebuild without getting some cash for Messi. If he stays that doesn’t happen and he leaves as a free agent at seasons end. Meanwhile they pay his (allegedly) huge salary and image rights and contend with an unhappy Messi for the season.....

Barto’s bluff has been called....perhaps

Publicly yes, but internally u wouldn't just have Pep, his assistant, Txiki, Ferran all in Barcelona at the same time.

I get slagged off by my mates for doing this all the time. I put £20 on last night too

Rag.

I'd be very surprised if he were speaking outside of Barca TV to announce he's staying at Barca. Just my opinion of course, and if he does speak then that is exactly what City expected to happen next from what I've been told.

?

City expect him to speak to Barcelona TV to say he's staying?
