It's been an open secret for years now that we had our finances lined up for Messi should he opt to leave Barca.
Players at that level decide when they move, so you dont pester Barca with transfer bids etc. The money doesn't come into it until you need to move.
All signs point to Barca wanting to cash in on him this year, and this is in part to the pressure we applied last year with Neymar and Suarez, causing Barca to give them much bigger deals to keep them sweet. They've spent themselves into a corner and only selling Messi will rectify this now.
An open secret? Christ I must of been asleep the last 3 years then if that's true.
Messi isn't leaving Barcelona. Sorry.
But if you know something I don't fancy sharing it? Cheers Buddy
