If messi is on a free do people really believe we will offer a player or some money so we don't piss off Barcelona, fuck em, them and the rest of the greedy fuckers tried to exterminate city
Thing is with his release clause it’s bit of a grey area with coronavirus and if we he went for nowt then they go to court are City willing to gamble that if you lose a court case we would have to pay the release clause or even half of it it be a disaster! So better to do some sort of deal if Messi really wants to leave and come to City.
