Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

[City Raider]

So if all today’s news proves true we don’t spend a penny. He comes on a free and his salary is tied to the value of the club which his signing will increase.

I’m wrong. We make money. Lots of it.

City’s lawyers examining Messi’s contract....... Straight from City’s mouthpiece...

 

[nmc]

Then further down it says an agent is 90% sure Messi will stay at the Nou camp, plus it didn't say it would be tomorrow the announcement, never game a timing.

I wonder how many agents they called until they got the narrative they wanted?

 

[Burtonblue]

Doesn't say anything about tomorrow

You’re quite correct...too much beer...no idea where I got tomorrow from...best have another to calm me down...

 

[BluechesterCity]

Fuck me, imagine De Bruyne, Foden, B Silva, Aguero and Raz all playing with Messi!

Long shot, but if anyone's ever seen the episode of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia where the gang are in a long-winded court case, and at the end of the episode the infuriated judge calls in the next case only to find out it also involves them...

That's how the CAS will feel about City if this Messi thing goes to them.

Maybe this is why the lawyers got binned

The lawyers got fired because advising Messi is and was a massive conflict of interest. There's a reason why conflict checks exist.

 

[@BluePhil8]

If Messi's 700m buyout no longer exists because he's in his final year that would also mean that his ability to leave on a free (before his final year) is no longer applicable, no?

In Spain, if there is no buy out clause, the player or the club can unilaterally decide to terminate the contract with immediate affect and the transfer fee will be decided by a judge.

thats why Barca keep screeching £700m buy out clause - they don’t have one and they are fucked!!!

Edit: I was too slow!

You are Gundogan & I claim my £5

The same source as saying his current release clause is now less than 50m I think
