Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

[tony adcock]

Are Barca about to go under? the other big earners are still there and i assume Aguero’s contract is signed etc

Is he registered though ?

Been told very clearly and categorically by two people who have spoken to Pep’s circle.

Also they knew early this morning that this statement was coming. Nothing changes for us.

They should have got a bloody move on with the Grealish announcement then, shouldn't they!

 

[Stato]

I just think city are playing it cool so we don't get burned again. I do not buy it for a second that we aren't on the phone to Messi to see what his plans are.
They will keep denying it imo

Messi also knows what are offer to him is like so I feel like we may wait to see if he approaches us and much are us approaching him.

Surely this strengthens our bargaining position with Levy for Kane

Levy's position will be "great go buy him, ill sell out my new stadium and charge 50% more for tickets next time you visit with him"

Has this affected the Grealish announcement or this late announcement just coincidental?

City aren’t in this fight this summer.

I agree, as much as I want it to happen. The ship sales last year. PSG it’ll be, Neymar reunion.

I’ve heard Messi likes Tizer

All the top journalists were adamant that messi Barca was a done deal, now we are commenting his departure from barca; naive thinking we won't try to sign him.

 

[inbetween]

Clearly a lot more to this, notice Barcelona have said Messi is leaving and not Messi.

Their statement says everything was agreed but basically now they can't afford him.

Sergio might follow yet!

There is no time to playing it cool, its now or never.
