In a nutshell.because they actually cannot afford him? I thought it was that simple.

I could be misunderstanding the situation but at the moment they can't even register him as he would be a new signing due to his contract expiring but if he had signed he would at least be part of the team and then they could have worked on sorting the selling of other players as they are doing now. I could be wrong though as you read so many differing things from different journalists.because they actually cannot afford him? I thought it was that simple.
It shocks me to read comments like this on a fan forum. How can people not understand loving a club as a reason to wanna play for them? Do you think football is nothing but business or a sport to these players? How can you not understand that he loves barca, played there his whole life, and want to stay there and help them rebuild themselves?If Messi decides to stay in Barcelona I would just want to know the reason why ?
Not the media bullshit loyalty and what not - His own personal reasons. And i know I won't be getting that answer.
A finished debilitating club who is trying hard to survive with a subpar manager and a recent humiliating number of results in the last 3 4 years. Also players who want to stay only for the mine. Presidents who can't move beyond politics and the leaks about his salary to the press by few of them.
After giving them his everything. He could have left at the age of 30 31 , gone to a new league and created a chasm between everyone and himself as the greatest ever. he has not won the ucl in 5 years now and even la liga is not a certainty.
Just makes me wonder
If he's still clubless come the window closing he's still available for anyone to sign.Just a thought, as he’s now a free agent does the transfer window apply to him ?
Exactly, seems Messi still isn't a free agent. He's a special case, lolJust a thought, as he’s now a free agent does the transfer window apply to him ?
Thought so, not sure it throws any light on the situation, just occuredl to me.If he's still clubless come the window closing he's still available for anyone to sign.
i live in stockport and have a season card, idk why people dont believe im a city fanDon't think he is.
By now he'd have proper outted himself, if he's a UK based blue is another matter though.
based on the fact that it seems like as though he has agreed a deal with a significant paycut and with the team clearly not being competitive enough to win the champions league and maybe not even la liga, i just cant see why he would stay if he wanted a good sporting project
