Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

[Neville Kneville]

There was a subsequent case at the CAS - Matuzalem which basically says that the compensation should represent the damages to the club from the contract being broken. In the case of Barca and Messi this could i suspect be huge.

That says he had 2 years left & a release clause of 25 mil, but FIFA initially set the price at 6.5 mil.

You would imagine it would be considerably less if he only had one year left & was 33 years old.

Sport is a terrible source by the way. Nothing to be excited about here

The thing is @tolmie's hairdoo told the
exact thing which was reported in Sport a while back on the other thread.

I suggest you wait before describing us as stupid; here's your briefing

Most of the posts on this subject are replying to people advocating City being stupid. Nobody seems to be pulling those posts up, only the replies.

CAS increased it to 11.6m i think and it took 2 years. CAS said that you cant predict the compensation as it is the impact it will have on the "wronged" party. I suspect the commercial impact of losing Messi will not be small, certainly compared to some bloke i hadnt heard of before.

I think the conclusion basically means using Webster is a huge gamble and will take a long time to be resolved.

But do we know exactly when he signed? And is it a rolling contract or does that make no difference? Truth is, we don’t know the definitive legal situation.

Signing reported in November 2017, expiring at the end of 20/21 season.

I do hope Pep reminds him to bring a brolly and do make sure his trainers havent sprung a leak.

Why still put Messi posts on the non-Messi thread?
