Bartomeu is only interested in reducing his personal liability to the club. It makes absolute sense that Messi has to threaten to leave on a free. It forces Bartomeu into negotiation.

Who's reported this?He's moving towards a free transfer exit imo. He can not get a transfer certificate from FIFA though until City make a proposal. That might be the next stage. Negotiations break down with Barca formally. City submit an offer to Messi and his agent, Messi and his agent go to FIFA and they resolve it.
Barcelona risk this moving out of their control and could end up with nothing
Barcelona and La Liga have been quite adamant that this isn't the case and there is still a release clause in his contract. Barcelona have more access to those records than any of us on this forum.
The only way of a resolution it looks like is if we come to agreeing a fee with Barcelona and their President.

Just said that on the other thread...this guy has been stealing a living for years - he is a chancer no more. Just look at the last comment on the thread about city not being able to afford him and his wages - shows you how clueless he is.I don’t know why the whole world seems to be giving this one guy (who’s been wrong on everything so far) so much credit.

The turn around on here is amazing, I just don't see how everyone is coming to the conclusion he is staying. I am happy to just sit back and let it play out, as I do not feel his actions, are of someone trying to stay at Barca. He would be at training I'm sure, and as been said before, his old man wouldn't have flown half way around the world, just to get a few quid out of them.
I am still confident it will happen at some point, nothing over the past few days has changed my mind, especially a few random tweets from nobodies.

"Free" is misleading though.Imagine saying you wouldn't take the best player ever, on a free transfer.

Messi is out of the club until he starts training/has his test.
He obviously wants out now but it's with the legal eagles as to how feasible/what the cost of that will be.
Such confirmation/decision doesnt happen overnight and once we have a definitive option we will either make an offer officially or messi will announce he's staying for this season.
Im still confident he's coming this season.

If he’s agreed to stay for a season we’ll know soon enough because he’ll start turning up for training. I’d suggest that may not be the end of it because then the situation re wages etc. will be a reality for Barca unless they can get him to sign a new contract. That seems unlikely unless we’ve been played.

Why can’t he buy his contract out.
