Stepping back from this and putting the pieces together from a logical but uninformed perspective - I know rare on here.
I can’t see Messi sending that fax yesterday and pulling the plug on Barca after 20 years with his future up in the air. I just don’t buy that, why would you do that - you’d negotiate with other parties whilst you still had the Barca fallback option - you don’t toss away one of your bargaining chips before sitting down with the other parties. Wherever he is off to, the deal is done and it’s a case of waiting for the dust to settle and Barca being allowed to save some face. i think everything points to us and a deal probably thrashed out over the last couple of months but I guess it could be someone else but I think we’d have distanced ourselves by now. The media are clearly making stuff up about calls and meetings etc but I really think this is all done and dusted.
