Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

[Lancet Fluke]

If Barcelona keep to there agreement Messi can leave on a free but it’s a big gray area and Barcelona will hold on to him to get a massive fee! Maybe 2/3 players plus cash for Messi.

Gundogan, Otamendi and Garcia.

Messi > PSG ... Neymar > Barca.. where he can now be the main man..?

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

He faxed it in and considers himself a free agent now.

ho-lee shit.

I seriously doubt 2 things.

1 that messi would let an announcement like this come out in this way, via random Twitter claims. 20 years at barca, an open letter to the fans at the very least, in the first instance, after agreeing with the board behind closed doors.

2 that this rumoured clause where he can just walk exists. Absolute bonkers, if barca ever agreed to that. Effecticely maje him the highest paid player, with zero security cover. my mind would be blown at such stupidity.

Gundogan, Otamendi and Garcia.

If by some miracle we sign Messi then Otamendi probably stays to help him settle.

Got a good feeling this will actually happen - might be the drugs.

Anything good?

Can he play at LB? If he can't, I ain't interested.

Who the hell still uses fax machines?!

That clause might exist because without it there's no way Messi ever leaves Barcelona without running his contract down. The initial agreement was probably made in happier times when there was a lot more faith from both parties that things would always be rosy.
