Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

[BlueMoon_Phil]

What remains is a number of non-minor bureaucratic steps. In principle, the Catalan club will make more efforts to get Messi to change his mind, something almost impossible at this point of events. The footballer, who owned dozens of records in Barcelona and chosen six times as ballon d'Or, decided to take advantage of a clause of his contract to, precisely, break it. It is the one that specifies that before the end of each season you can inform the club is deciding to leave. The legal battle is an issue that is likely to be addressed when Messi has already been away from Castelldefels, his Catalan refuge. It is that, according to the footballer, FIFA will grant you the transfer so that you can decide where to follow your career. Although that, it is known now, that fate already has a name: Manchester City.

I'm going to have to take your word for that.

Unless he has pictures ?

 

[manimanc]

He’s changed his name mate. Removed the 10.

Is this new old news or old new news?

 

[Robinho's Subbuteo]

Has anyone seen Aguero’s Instagram?

Yes but the ‘10’ from his username is nowhere to be found.

 

[@BluePhil8]

if it is a free transfer yes, go get him.

Imagine this situation if De Bruyne had this clause in his contract Barca would play so dirty to get him for free without paying us a penny.

Thats what we need to do here, stop that bullshit we want to be seen generous and nice to Barca fuck that....

His salary is more than enough cost on us.

Why imagine? They tried this skullduggery against Atletico when they signed Griezmann!

 

[not my fault!]

He has known about this since then?!

way before apparently... How did we miss it eh?

 

[toutmaster]

Kun live on TYC sports it is possible city can sign messi

 

[Mancity1980]

Lot of contracts have been expiring before the new end of season rescheduled due to Covid crisis.

And if Barça really put "end of season" in their contract instead of a regular date like most of contracts, they deserve to lose him for free. I doubt they are so amateurish though.

I don’t care how professional they were, no one was that clever they drew up contracts with a possible global pandemic in mind.

Didn't sergio change it in 2019?
Unless he's changed it over the last 2 days it's old news but the mail seem to have gone spuds deep over it.

Poor old chippy the beaver swanson on sky sports having to report the bullshit story about FIFA getting involved, he always gets made to look a cock.

Sky sports are hurting real bad at the moment, they will be sick as fuck if Messi comes.

They be chocking on it if pep does another selfie with the others & includes messi in the same bar,when they got the cas decision..

It’s possible he could be wrong about the contract.. Not sure how the new club would be liable for misinterpretation of a contract between a player and another club. It’s a separate agreement and only those parties are privy to the details of it, and ensuring it is followed as legally intended. If Messi says he can walk away from Barca and signs a new contract with City, what have City done wrong in that?

CAS have shown that football is not in a bubble outside of the law in the real world. If I rob a car and sell it to you, you are not responsible for stealing the car because you are the new owner.

It would be up to the buying club to carry out due diligence. Ignorance isn’t usually an effective defence in law.
