Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

so his dad releases a statement saying that he doesnt consider himself a barca player and he is now a free agent, only for there to be a statement later the same day confirming he will stay at barca? fucking mad

they’ve released segments of the contract that clearly state “end of season” so...

Releasing segments is how we got suspended by UEFA, we of all people should know these can be misleading.

Clearly la Liga,can not afford there biggest asset to leave, but the truth is, in the coming days he will be unveiled as a City player , its just the small matter of sorting out the image and sponsorship rights ,Puma have to agree the deal with Nike

Four title wins,numerous cups pass you by ?

What statement is that?

Google Marca English better than all the anti City tripe to keep up with the Messi shenanigans

The video could be a PR stunt to build sympathy and turn everyone against the Board. As long as an extension isn’t signed.

Yes, it’s a reach....

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.

Initially it would go to local courts, that's the fear that has scared the hell out of the Messi family. The hacienda witch hunt was brutal for the family and they see the system is aligned against them - it would be ugly

Now, me, I would fight but Messi is weighing family (his nuclear & extended one), legacy, money, stresses and probably a variety of other concerns - he doesn't want to go down that road when he has another clean option in 9 months (4 if you count a contract with City). Perfectly reasonable too but altogether disheartening from my POV

Second best possible outcome
