FIFA authorise the transfer and then Barcelona, or maybe even La Liga?, can sue City.
It could start again.
If FCB know that Messi is about to press the button, they may negotiate. Ideally I don't think City, Barca or Messi want to go through the courts.
Maybe.
I was under the impression that previously FIFA had set a value on a player in similar circumstances.
Then one party chose to challenge that in court.
If Messi is correct, perhaps FIFA can set the value at 0? If so I'm not sure there would be any point Barca going to court. But both those are my guesswork.
