Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

[waspish]

You are right but its different case now.


1- Messi and his legal team believe he is free and can leave for nothing.
2- Barcelona & La Liga believe the release clause of 700m is still valid

If we have to negotiate with Barca, it means Bartomeu is right and Messi can't leave without his permission.

So why is there a video of the Barcelona chairmen saying on video that he can go for nowt?

 

[waspish]

David Silva was completely out of contract so it's somewhat different.

At the end of the day Barca is all about politics, fans running football clubs is a recipe for disaster.

The president does not want Messi walking out on his watch on Messi's terms, that's the issue.

What about Kompany you can say he was a massive loss to us last season he had one year left and he went with everyone’s blessing.

There is a video and there is a signed contract that say otherwise unfortunately.

his contract had expired actually

 

[Jaffamandango]

Have I missed the point here? Or have the media overlooked something?

• The contract is currently in force and has a "termination clause" applicable to the event that Lionel Andrés Messi decides to activate the early unilateral termination of the contract, carried out in accordance with article 16 of Royal Decree 1006/1985, of June 26, which regulates the special employment relationship of professional athletes.
  
  Is this in relation to Messi buying out the remainder of the contract and not the “release clause”? If so this could be a massive difference

 

[Keeper!]

What about Kompany you can say he was a massive loss to us last season he had one year left and he went with everyone’s blessing.

He went for a managers job, not to a rival.

We are a class outfit and respect works both ways.

The Messi situation is political , one of the Reasons Pep left Barca, it's a poisonous club at times.

City took on UEFA and won. What does Tebas hope to gain by taking this petulent stance?

 

[lancs blue]

The president does not want Messi walking out on his watch on Messi's terms, that's the issue.

I suspect that's largely irrelevant as Bartomeu must be nailed on to lose the elections next year whatever happens with Messi.

I am sure there Presidents can be liable for any debt that occur on their watch?
