Think Messi will stay at Barcelona until the Summer.
Not for the Directors, or the club, but for the fans.
He won't walk out in January.
I think he wants to win the CL this season as a leaving present for the fans. La Liga has gone.
Messi aside.
City will wait until the Summer and hopefully get Messi on a free. Why pay Barcelona anything in January. Barcelona had the chance ofa a transfer fee, and to get Messi's wages off the club pay roll in the Summer. Barcelona decided to make Messi stay. Those Directors who made that decision have now resigned.
Hopefully Messi will be a City player in 6-7months time?
