FFS, what else can he say?
Of course they’re working on Messi leaving. You really think he would fly halfway across the globe to give up after one meeting?

How about "No, he has already left the club"?

His yes response hardly gives the impression of a man who is confident in his position that Messi no longer plays for them.

It doesn't look good for us. Its only a few days ago that Messi no longer considered himself a Barca player. Now his father and agent is saying yes to the possibility of him staying at the club Messi believes he has already left?

Reporter: "Is there a possibility that Messi will stay at Barcelona?" Jorge Messi: "Not a chance." Reporter: "How was the meeting with Bartomeu?" Jorge Messi: "Shit,he's a ****".

He ain't exactly gonna say that,is he......maybe it's a front for the fans etc.
They gotta look like they are willing to listen and talk to Barca,imo.
 
As much as I want Messi I am more concerned about the defensive signings we still require.

We simply can't afford to not sign another CB and LB if we are going to realistically compete for the major prizes again. I know some will say there is plenty of time but we are just over 2 weeks away from the start of the season and players benefit from time to settle in first.

Look at Chelsea apparently spunking another £89m on Havertz - they are getting the business done.

Not looking good would be him signing a new two year contract with Barca. Saying he might see out his existing contract and leave for nothing is fine. He would be calling their bluff.

Always the chance he renews with new leaders but that’s the chance Barca may take. We aren’t at that point though.. he could sign with us in January and come season after next for nothing for a year or two.

I still see the most likely outcome is they let him go at a price.

I think this could be a bluff from Jorge. He knows Barto needs money from the sale to pay off the debt hes accumulated. Jorge is calling his bluff by saying he'll leave for free next year. In other words its Barto's last chance to cash in by selling him now

This whole transfer has been built around the premise, that as far as Messi is concerned, he is no longer contracted to Barca and is now a free agent. I don't see how his father coming along and suggesting he might stay, does anything other than weaken his stated position of no longer being employed by the club.

Tolmie has always said Messi and his father need to hold their nerve and conviction. Not much anyone else can do if they don't. City have rightly kept their distance and let Messi's camp do all the running. We expected lots of negativity at this critical point, all to play for!

Okay! Cheers.

In the back of my mind thinking this too, but a lot of reports state different. Hopefully your right
 
Let's not jump to conclusion blues.

I am actually pissing myself laughing.
One comment from Jorge Messi and the whole forum gets out the black suits.

"Is there a chance Messi could stay for another year?" "Yes"

Well of course there is a chance. At the moment the legality of the early release is up for debate.
Jorge would be stupid to say otherwise.
If by chance he does remain, he doesn't want to look stupid by saying otherwise. Even for legal purposes he might have to say that. I do think a "no comment" would have been better.

If he stays, then he stays, we move on.
The fact is we might have never even been in for him. I've heard nothing from City. I highly doubt that, but you never know.
All these ITK's were still reporting our involvement with Sanchez right up to the day United signed him. It was only afterwards it was revealed we had dropped out well beforehand.
