Veronica Brunati has just said it.

Doesnt get more reliable than her.

No she’s saying Barca insist any club wanting to sign must pay the full buyout but the landscape may change

 

[MillsyTheMosher]

all she has said is that barca won't negotiate on the clause and that the landscape may change. that doesn't mean he stays.

You think we will pay 700 m for him ? LOL.

 

[avoidconfusion]

Yes but she is the most reliable source and has close ties with Leos family.

She isn't even saying it, just translated the tweet

maybe she’s alluding the fact that barca May have stepped back their “no releaseclause no deal” approach and might negotiate.

This is why I think the Martinez to City is also close

Didn’t Barca believe Martinez was theirs and Messi was happy for that

Add in Koulibaly

I think there is some truth in this in that. We think we know that City where going to have a good transfer window before Messi based on ITK and rumours and frankly we needed a good window. We have also been told by alleged ITK that Messi is separate to other transfer. However how would Martinez work if we got Messi yes they play in different positions and are different player but surely Aguero will then extend his contract and surely there will be games where Messi plays down the middle due to his age and speed and energy of the prem wont he struggle out wide. How do we fit Martinez Aguero Jesus Messi in the front positions on top of Sterling Mahrez Torres and possibly Foden and Bernardo from time to time. Plus Sterling and perhaps even Torres Foden and Kevin can play down the middle or might be able to.

I can only think therefore that he has been told of other players coming in with the exception of a striker.

If anything it sounds like they might do the honourable thing and accept his breaking of the contract.

If it is wait a year as tolmie alluded to then we should end it here

He never said that.

 

[Neville Kneville]

Where did Tolmie say that?

He didn't, it was just a video which some interpreted, he followed up with 'it's happening'.

 

[TheThirdDeano]

If it is wait a year as tolmie alluded to then we should end it here

Didn't he also literally say "It's happening"?

Imagine how Nathan Ake feels now. Joins from relegated Bournemouth, blown away by world class facilities. Messi was going to join him but now a significant change is apparently expected.

I jinxed it, sorry boys
