OK , so if Messi stays, or we decide the deal is not right, what happens to the "Messi" money?

Nothing - the money only exists because it is Messi. Signing him would open up multiple sponsorship deals that could (in part, at least) pay for the transfer. It wouldn't be available to the same extent for other players. As ESPN have noted, City appear to be crunching the numbers to see if they stack up. I wouldn't be surprised if they were informally sounding out sponsorship partners to see what they were prepared to pay to have Messi's face plastered on their advertising.

It isn't there anymore, other people will put up the money if it happens. It's like splashing out on a nice bottle of wine at a restaurant because you're splitting the bill.

Besides, the Qataris would never sell us Mbappe and to even tempt them would be twice/three times as much, and he still missed chances in the CL final and lost so it's hardly a certainty either.

The income he would generate would pay his fee and wages without issue.

Still cant see it happening though.

That miss in the final was pure Jozy Altidore.

Agree entirely. I don't see it either but, if there were a chance, why not at least try? Think how much we'd be kicking ourselves if he ended up at PSG or Inter and we hadn't bothered throwing out hat into the ring because it didn't seem likely.

Juventus have also decided to pay Ronaldo with sponsors, jerseys, etc ... By doing 2 + 2 it is clear that nothing can pay for this investment. Juventus has 300 million in debts, this year they are trying to sell, they have inflated the budget, and all this to pay Ronaldo, who for the moment has not given him anything. Messi is the same! A game for the rich, a game that can ruin a team for 10 years. Given what's happening at Juventus, I wouldn't want him in your place.
