As has been pointed out several times, Messi could play for free and he still isn't allowed to stay at BarcelonaWhat gets me is Messi is stood there crying that he doesn't want to leave etc etc
Well, why not play for considerably less money then and make it happen ffs.
He could play for free and he would still be a gazillionaire but he is choosing not to. He is therfore choosing to leave and not being pushed out.
