Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

Almost certainly, Messi will end up renewing for Barca.

This entire Messi-mombo saga is, IMO, Messi exerting maximum pressure on Barca to rid management figures he dislikes, while driving the best possible deal for contract renewal.

Are they going to start paying him with Haribo?

Something just doesn’t add up though… if you need to lose €100m from your wage bill and you want to sign Messi to a new contract - why bring in 3 new players…. On the face of it it’s madness. The only explanation I can think of is it is all smoke and mirrors and Barca will be allowed to breach league rules and carry on as before… it’s not like there isn’t precedent. Cheats are always cheats.

they needed to lose at least 300m of there wage bill

Can you imagine the legal shit storm ? They want to cancel a guys contract but 6 months ago wanted to take Messi to court for not honouring his ? You couldn't make this shit up

Some one did make it up and put it on twitter, the home of where made up things go.

Then City Watch can quote it or repost it or whatever and it becomes a fact to some people.

Don’t they still owe 200m to clubs they bought players from?

Sorry - I thought their wage bill was £300m and they needed to lose 40 per cent of it… whatever the numbers… they are fucked. Lol

That doesn't really help their current situation though. He can generate money, sure, but it's pissing in the wind when you take into account their debts and the rules which say they have to cut their wage bill by a couple of hundred million.

Yes… and if they get rid of those players - releasing them or selling them… don’t they have to settle the outstanding amount in full… so they may have very limited room for manoeuvre. It must be all laughs and giggles in the Barca boardroom just now !
