I can't see how Messi staying until the end of his contract helps Bartomeu at all. A pissed off player being paid £50m to play in a downgraded squad is a no-win situation all round. The only wins for Bartomeu are either sell for say £80-100m and have funds to revitalise the squad or get Messi to sign an extension to his current contract and claim the kudos for keeping him at the club until he retires.
 
If he's decided to give it one more year, then there's nothing to be done but move on. Surprised. I think this was his last opportunity for a move to a club that will challenge for the Champions League.

Real Madrid are also in problems so they could still compete domestically.

No but I still think he will stay at Barca.
Players should not sign these stupid release clauses.

I vaguely remember the furore when he signed the contract.
It was click bait heaven.
“Messi can leave for free in ” were the headlines and then it was but only to China or such like. Not to a direct rival.

that’s no good to us. And it was quickly forgotten. Along with him asking zabba and Aguero about City. And asking one of our players during a game v Girona.
worlds best player just wants to know if there is any truth behind the hype.
Fast forward to today.
Have City seen that contract ? Have we been over it with a fine tooth comb and said the direct rival can’t be enforced?
I’m guessing we have.
all that Barca hold is his registration.
they will probably pop that in the 2nd class post just to piss off blue moon.

Tbh I dont think Tolmie was informing us wrongly as far as he knows, but I do wonder if someone has told him incorrectly.

Just as likely he made the video.

Boris Johnson wrote two pieces for the newspaper, agreeing with us both leaving & staying in the EU.

No law says Messi has to release the video.

Bartomeu is out soon, squad rebuild will be for the next president and Barto gives 0 fucks about that. Keeping Messi will be seen as a win for Barto.
 


Various options still open, can see there being lots of random leaks in all directions... only Messi knows what's going on...
