Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

The only Barcelona player I'd love at City other than Messi of course.

He is not a Barcelona player.

Messi must really love Barcelona.

There are only a few times when a guy keeps his loyalty intact after being utterly humiliated by a club whom he gave his all. Players not getting registered. Players contracts being terminated and now the news that 10 players need to go for him to stay. Most of them first team.

The guy really wants to play with Aguero Garcia depay and some under 17s next season.

Of course, we only have Laporta's word for it that Messi wants to re-sign.

So hypothetically if we buy Messi, assuming Bernardo goes and nobody else and we still have 1 place to fill.
Do we drop the striker interest and go full false 9 but unlike last season when we relied on midfielders scoring we have probably the greatets false 9, Messi to score.
Or do we drop the Grealish interest and play Messi with a striker.
For me both would work, but I would go for the first option and buy Grealish to replace Bernardo and let Messi replace Aguero.

Why would we buy someone out of contract

Obviously ,not buy, but then that was completley missing the point of the post.

Now offering Sergi Roberto a new deal according to this...

Barcelona to make U-turn on Sergi Roberto amid exit talk

Barcelona look set to make a U-turn with Sergi Roberto with the full-back now looking likely to remain at the club with a new contract.

Two options really

Tebas folds on their demands. Barcelona somehow sell some of their players and get some leeway which allows them to sign Messi.Can’t see that happening now Pep has been winding him up about spending and rules.All eyes will be watching Barca and UEFA.

Messi signs for another club meanwhile they try to get the high earners off the list that no one can afford. No way will they win the league after offloading all their players. The CL, no hope.

Anyone think Pep may be aware of some sort of deadline set by Messi,and Pep is now trying to throw a spanner in the works of Laporta?

You could read the Tebas pressure that way but tbh he's probably just enjoying kicking him while he's down.

Yeah,just never known Pep to get involved in the way he has,seems strange.
