heres the el confidencial article: <a class="postlink" href="http://www.elconfidencial.com/deportes/futbol/2014-03-19/el-manchester-city-si-da-a-leo-messi-los-25-millones-de-euros-que-le-niega-el-barcelona_103967/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.elconfidencial.com/deportes/ ... na_103967/</a> with a google translation

The future of Leo Messi remains concerned at the Camp Nou. Unsigned which would seventh renewal since it appeared on the first team in 2005, FC Barcelona signed discussed in doubt whether to accept requests made ​​by the father of Argentine and pointing to the 25 million euros per season, which has led to much more than one manager to take accounts and think of a possibility until very recently seemed impossible as is coming to display a Barcelona without Messi, knowing that Manchester City are willing to put so much money in clause (200 million euros) as Jorge Messi 25 asking for your child.

While, as is logical, player managers and public sealed in a love that seems eternal. Messi spoke on Sunday to finish his career at Camp Nou and Faus, economic and Vice recent 'enemy' of Argentina, even said that the renovation is almost certain, circumstances far removed from reality today.

As has been reporting the Confidential , the arrival of Neymar and those 17 million euros received for very different concepts have led to Messi to order a new pay raise, trying to raise his record to 25 million euros, according published Ace . A new contract would Barcelona near the 200 million disbursement , amount that Manchester City are willing to pay in order to sign that it is top scorer in the history of the Catalan club. Remember that the tax rate in Catalonia is 56%.

The dilemma is clear to the possibility of receiving the same money it would cost for renewal. On one side is the social cost of that would be goodbye to everyone is the best player to have worn the Barcelona shirt, and on the other the financial burden of a new renovation. Bartomeu wants a deal , but to date positions are far apart today. Both the president and other managers know that signing Messi mean the end of many of the problems that now threaten to Barcelona, ​​but the question is whether at too high a price.

The wage bill exceeds Barcelona and Real Madrid is ahead of that of any other European team, with about 160 million euros. Amount, failing to close the new contract Messi course, be reduced by almost 15 million by the bye Puyol and Victor Valdes of FC Barcelona signed a motion that will relieve some of the tension experienced by the Treasury and Catalan club allowing some leeway.
Jorge Messi is responsible for reaching agreement. Nothing has been heard of the intention Faus, but also knows the will to face Manchester City which would be the most important football operation and could reach 400 million euros. Last summer, the PSG also canvassed the possibility of signing the Argentine, but the French option has been completely ruled out.
What is clear is that the front seems to get that physical and football pitch that lost in the final months of 2013. Messi returns, over matches, to be the decisive player in previous years. The litmus test to know exactly the extent of that return next Sunday will occur against Real Madrid. Based on what happens in the Classic, many of the events surrounding the Catalan club will be cleared, or on the contrary, they will a twist over the matter.

From same author whose written about us and the previous article on messi. Clearly barca's upper mgmt/pr ppl have seen the article as this was put up on mundodeportivo today also:

The FCB insists again and again that we will reach an agreement with Messi to extend his contract. And from the player, nothing has changed. For months before the injury, President Rosell and Jorge Messi hand based on a comprehensive agreement that subsequently should be itemized and gave written.
On that basis it is working now Bartomeu and father Leo to formalize the agreement.

So MD basically saying that rosell and jorge messi have a handshake agreement and that the deal will get done and bartomeu is working off the terms that rosell had agreed with jorge and the deal will eventually get done its just not done yet. Basically all this will continue until a deal gets signed and the longer it goes unsigned/announced the longer this speculation will exist. El confidencial also noted that PSG is out of the equation and that it seems like its either us or barca and that Bartomeu wants to get a deal done but at what cost, we can offer pretty much anything under the sun and barca to a point are limited on what they can pay him. Be curious to see where we are a month from now on all this

What's rosell got to do with it?

 

[BringBackSwales]

I really don't think that we will ever sign him; be delighted if we did, other than what it would inevitably do to the price of my season ticket

 

[Paulski]

What's rosell got to do with it?

It says that there has been a long-standing agreement in place since before Rosell's, ahem, 'resignation', and the signing is now just a formality. However Mundo Deportivo is just Barcelona's spin machine.

That El Confidencial piece is very well written, which makes me believe there might be something in it. I don't know how trustworthy it is in general but going off the standard of writing it doesn't look like your average Spanish football rag (Mundo Deportivo, As, Sport, etc).

From marca....


Barcelona does not want Messi's renewal to get out of hand. The two sides are poles apart in terms of what the club is offering and what the player is asking for. Right now his wage stands at a fixed €9 million per season. The club is also aware of his father's anger over the proposal he received from the Board of Directors under Bartomeu.

A senior executive of the club contacted Jorge Messi last weekend to reassure the footballer's father. "Don't worry, we're going to sort it out." he told him. The club knows all too well they cannot afford to allow their star player to move to another team.

However, so far the message has only been verbal because there has been no counter-proposal. The player made his last bid two weeks ago and since then the club has not made a move.

Jorge Messi is left waiting. He is quietly confident the club will make an offer in keeping with what Sandro Rosell promised him, but he has no intention of getting nervous. A few days ago he was on the verge of breaking off negotiations with the club and sticking to his son's current economic deal, a record €13 million net signing fee, plus bonuses for different concepts and contract termination in 2018.

 

[BLUE PEANUT]

With it being world cup year and the inevitable delays in concluding deals, this is going to be one long summer.
Shame it couldn't be punctuated with video clues from tolm without degenerating into a slanging match.

When he went of kissing the Barcelona badge after scoring his hat-trick the little bit of hope I had in me after all these recent rumours just instantly died away.

Superb player; the finest.
