The board will go in March and he will sign a new deal . It’s obvious

Can sign a new deal but that team is knackered and needs major investment which barca don't have at the moment. Going to waste his last years being made a scapegoat for their failure.

Unless he signs an agreement with us in January

Why doesn't Messi release a statement saying he's going to sign a pre-contract with a club in January to see what reaction he gets from Barca

I would think he`s already told them that.Seriously !

We'll know for sure in January if he signs a pre-contract with another team. That would be before the elections anyway.

Contractually he'd face penalties to make an announcement now if not litigation, it follows the logic of why he decided to not force his exit a month ago. At this level, there are clauses about what you say/do - even the social media posts are carefully worded to sidestep those legal landmines. I thought Luis Suarez' farewell demonstrated that quite clearly at different moments - from his interview with Barto on the same stage (several feet away) to photos with teammates & trophies (Without Barto)

It's also why Captains like Pique or Busquets have not said a word about Messi in the wake of all of this - there are even bigger consequences for Catalan players who are held to a different standard than foreign players to weigh in on club politics. I thought Puyol's social media post said it all and even that was a bit cryptic rather than a big statement against the board

Some may remember the shameful way Casillas' exit was handled too, he could say very little about it in public but you could read between the lines

If he signs pre contracts in Jan then I’ll be very happy. If he doesn’t I’d be very skeptical of him leaving Barca at all

Its getting desperate and embarrassing now. Close the thread mods, ta. I've read enough shite on this.

Perhaps don't read the Messi thread then ;-)
