At what point do City publicly get involved? If La Liga are siding with Barça then that adds a different dimension as they have stated they’ll not release his Visa. So as the buying club surely we now need to see clarification from FIFA as to their memo about extensions. I suspect Barça know they are banged to rights with that though so now they are going down the buy out clause route as it’s their only hope of seeing any money.
 
Whether this ends in a free transfer or us paying Barca a sweetener to get him. I'm convinced Messi will be a City player either way. Think about it, if you were in Barca's shoes and had a player who is the highest earner, who you know isn't going to give his all and doesn't want to be at the club. Why keep him. Doesn't help Barca, doesn't help Messi.
 
I don't know the finer detail concerning the message Messi filmed to convey.

I do know Messi will never play for Barcelona again and this is a very dark last chapter for a club he has done so much for.

City didn't want to become publicly embroiled/portrayed as an aggressor to rip him from their grasp.

Barca, however, have chosen a different path for us to take and it is just a question of how they are now forced to submit.

We don't need to be unduly concerned, the greatest player in the world only has eyes for us and now has the weight of City behind him.

Such is the worldwide focus of this transfer, it will get done quickly enough, too many reputations to salvage.

I agree. The La Liga statement does not solve the underlying dissatisfaction of the player. Trust has been lost. Thereis no way out other than to maximise terms. That's probably underway right now, and we are just getting distracted by Tebas's stunt.
