All quiet in those skies mate I'm afraid,there is a Ryanair from Bari just going over Irish sea heading for Dublin,but not much else

Looks like he is staying. Sky News just now. Should be a statement soon according to them.

Trying to get 350 matched laying at 1.29 hear crazy value considering the difference between a statement and a journo who claims he has a source.

Lay price is now 1.20. I stuck £50 on him staying at Barca earlier when the odds drifted to Evens. Wish I’d lumped more on now!

Sky claiming that the media has been tipped off he's staying.

Doesn't want a court case & will leave at the end of the season.

Your mam says to shout her and she will help you get dressed..........

we will see. I’m gonna go with the biggest argentine news source info rather than holding onto something I desperately want to believe. This isn’t just one journalist this is their whole station going with this info. they would not push it so aggressively on Twitter, on their website etc if they weren’t sure.

Sky saying it’s over. He’s being forced to stay and is doing interviews with Spanish tv to confirm this. In answer to why release the statement then, to do with ego. I’ve been positive all the way through but I think it’s over.

 

[Cityisland]

Sky saying he/ his dad are recording an interview atm which will state he is staying. From a "reliable source, close to the Messi's".

 

[TheThirdDeano]

Sky haven't been on the ball at all about this once during the entire thing.

Except when it's bad news for city. Strange that isn't it!

 

[not my fault!]

Because of the realization that he faces a nasty legal fight in a country that has already made his life hell with their legal system. The LFP's response was right out of Bartomeu's playbook. Try & leave and we will enforce our interpretation of the contract and this goes to the courts

Appears Leo's approach/tactic is to paint himself as a picture of a player being forced to stay despite a desire to leave

but it’s not about interpretation, it’s about how it’s worded and Messi has proven it states end of season without a date. La Liga can’t say well you read it differently to us, it’s black and white. No third party court (it’d not be held in a Spanish court) would agree the contract is not what is written and signed by all parties lol.
