Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

And Bartomeu initially became president after Rosell got indicted for Neymar transfer.

He can hope his associate can get elected after his term to keep the dodgy business floating.

Rosell has been doing that for years, even during Laporta's reign when he got Ronaldinho.

They have over 200m pounds higher revenue than us. They are paying out crazy amount of wages (over 100m pounds more than anybody else) but they are not in deep shit.

Obviously these numbers are pre-covid but with that revenue there is always flexibility.

I can assure you they are in dire financial jeopardy *right now*.

Surely it would be leaked on the Barça side if he was staying by now , if the messi’s had informed Bart he was gonna stay , Bart would be telling everyone

So he comes to us he wanted it all along and wants to try himself in Prem and play for Pep again

If he doesn’t he his a shithouse who could only do it at one club

The team is aging, they are highly in debt. Regardless of the wage bill how do they think to become a good team again. They are going to have to spend 100’s of millions of dollars to compete with the worlds best again. That’s with or without messi

the money spoken on this messi deal is crazy ? yes i understand the revenue he would bring in sales at the club shop and image rights and sponsorship at manchester city would level it out but for making a profit ??? the figures flying around are £700 million, that is top $ dollar for somebody at 33

how much would is cost to bring in mbappe or João Félix both would have longer career and the hunger to win the big titles, messi could be special but also could be a flop

does messi really want this or is he playing the both of us and knows the only winner in all this is messi himself

As things have played out thus far, there are no “winners” in this situation, unless he ultimately comes to us.

 

[The perfect fumble]

If Messi wants away then he'll have to go the extra mile himself, there's no two ways about it, if he doesn't, then we've lost nothing, because there was nothing to lose.

That is a fair point and true. My point is that they are under no pressure to start cashing in.

Of course like most clubs they can't afford 100m transfers this window but that revenue alone is enough to keep them afloat.
