Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

[MAG]

If Barca keeps behaving this way, I won't be surprised if the next week or so we hear Eric Garcia has changed his mind and doesn't want to go there anymore ... and signs a new contract with us.

Regardless of the legal argument Barca may bring up, they aren't doing themselves any favours with this stance.
The way I see it, Bartomeu has a vested interest in getting a fee for Messi, you could argue he has engineered the whole situation what with the social media campaign they run against him.
Bartomeu is on the hook for any financial losses that Barca make at the end of his presidency, it's shouldn't come as a shock to anyone to think he see's Messi as a way of resolving that.
Whatever Barca try and do, if Messi has made up his mind, there's only one winner, Messi.
Even if they prevent him from leaving this season, he can still leave at the end of it, I would imagine it will make him more determined than ever.
Barca the club/the organisation are damaged either way, even with a change of board members!
The last thing you need in any organisation is a disgruntled employee, the unrest will spread like a cancer....

Oh and Tebas, well he's just a bitter c^%t!

After all this built up animosity, would Messi even want to play for Barcelona or even in La Liga again, when they are publicly disrespecting his wishes like this.

I think it will strengthen his will to leave. When Ronaldo wanted to leave real honored his wish since he put so many good moments for them. Messi has been so loyal that it’s beyond embarrassing

Like a petulant child. He really is a disgrace, what Messi has done for Spanish football, Barcelona and the La Liga brand should be lauded and as others have said well wished by the club and fans. Not this circus.

Couldn’t agree more than this mate. Behaving like this will leave a very sour taste for arguably the greatest player ever who had given 20 years service. Just goes to show the importance of the dollar though in that they would rather destroy the above for money. Sad reality of modern day footbal

La liga statmentement means Barca are right legally, which means the game is over.

Lol

Sky have a man at barca,everyone but messi turned up for covid testing

He says his eyes are firmly on manchester,couldnt bring himself to say city ha

He is saying la liga are trying to protect their tv rights etc after losing fake ronnie and neymar

Can you imagine a champions league final V Barcelona if he does sign :)

 

[PistonBlue]

Tebas’ bitter and irrelevant but also entirely predictable involvement In this is going to make the whole thing taste even sweeter.

Well is price is going up I’m sure. Messi free Garcia 5m, Messi 100m Garcia now 40m

He will be even more determined to leave now. Can't wait until this is all over and he is pictured holding up a City shirt.

Yep their mask has slipped, as I've said before this is not like he's 25 and just wanting to move for more money or because he has fallen out with Barca - he's given them 16 years + in the first team, has rejected many times a move away and been loyal. As he enters the final years of his playing career he wants a new project, one with people he trusts and those that are not political. The more they speak the closer he gets to joining us.
