Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

Ironically, every further 'it is done claim' right now makes me think it more that it isnt done than that it is.

If it was, why need to advertise it. Feels desperate. Definately distasteful, given he is trying to say bye to his club. It is like they are trying to prove a point, counter the fact he said nothing is closed, and make sure they box it off before anyone else can move in.

Well we'll see what his intentions are.
Come to city and challenge for everything on a decent wage.
Go to Paris and semi retire in a tin pot League for an obscene amount of money.

If he has the legs and desire he'll come to us.
If he's money orientated, which sadly he is, he's off to PSG.

Watching the presser it came across quite strongly to me he puts a lot of value on family & where the next comfortable destination would be for them.

He also stressed looking after himself physically in the last few years of his career.

Unfortunately moving to a physical demanding Premiership & England with a large cultural difference certainly don’t tick those boxes & probably overshadow his desire for a really different & difficult challenge in his twilight years.

Kane won't get a signing-on fee as we'll be paying a fee to Spurs if he comes.

Hahahahahahahahahha

I know you aren't naive enough to believe that only players signed on a free get signing bonuses.

Seems strange City aren’t even bothering, from reports.

It is mad that whilst he's on stage crying and saying he's not closed anything with anyone, Paris have briefed that it's done to them. Was Leo's dad in the room or was he on Zoom with Nasser? Haha.

What a shit end to a great career.

self inflicted a lot of it, he could and should of got out at the end of the Enrique era.

What a shit end to a great career.

Nah, he'll focus on being fit for the WC 2022 and eventually winning one more CL before joining his boyhood club in Argentina for one more season and then calling it a day.

I think pretty much every player gets a signing on fee when they join a new club

As much as I'd like to dream of him playing for us, I fear its inevitable he'll join PSG.

He was willing to take a huge pay cut to remain at Barca, given the love for the club. Shame if he joins PSG and chooses money over the admiration he has for Pep and the opportunity to play under him one last time.

After winning the Copa America, he feels more like an Argentinian than ever before. He will find Argentinian players and an Argentinian manager there. It’s very comfortable for him. But disappointing

I hope we are nowhere near it, he is damaged goods or a very good actor.
