Listening to Marcotti and Laurens and they seem to think he actually has limited options.

  • Barcelona is out due to financial situation. It's pipe dream stuff.
  • MLS wage cap restricts his earning potential so Inter Miami seems unlikely. He'd have to want to transform US Soccer.
  • Saudi will pay him a shedload but they doubt he will want to do it; he has enough money.

No mention of City.

I reckon he'll go to Saudi.

Still think if one of the big PL teams comes in he will be in England next season.

Just don't see a player of Messi's quality moving out of Europe next..he is still top 5 in the world and could be the Ballon d'Or winner by the end of the year.

Unlike Ronaldo, Messi still has a couple of leagues he could visit before his time is up.

The interesting piece is why is Ronaldo trying (as reported) to get out of Saudi after 4 months. I sense elite footballer now playing with players well below the standard there used too which leads to frustration. All the money in the world can't change that.

Messi is even younger and surely thinks he can still play at elite level. Who knows :-)

Messi would 1000% be a designated player in MLS meaning he could be paid any amount without it negatively affecting the wage cap.

Eddie Howe seems to be ruling out any marquee signings, hopefully for him he gets his way on that one as I think he's right, they need to build up the squad first. All our early marquee signings (Robinho, Yaya, Tevez) created issues even though they were great players and the problems PSG have had with that approach are obvious.
Get the building blocks in place and then sign the stars when they don't see it as them doing you a favour.

They're far too smart for that. Newcastle are actually a threat to us - unlike Chelsea and United, it looks like the owners have the brains to compete with ours.

Just with him allegedly not having many options and Messi visiting Saudi recently 2+2 I suppose mate.
