Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

[Tugay One Cup]

I Just want some clarity & I may of missed something but at what point has messi or his team said he wants to play for city ? At what point have city officially said we want him ?

it seems the logical move for him but are we going off media reports only at this stage ?

I don't think anyone on here has him in a WhatsApp group so obviously it's all come through the media.

But I think those who have been paying full attention are under no doubt that he specifically wants to come here.

I'd love City to leak now that we do not wish to become involved in the internal squabbling of another club and its national association.
We wish Lionel all the best but due to the statement of la liga we will respect Sr Tebas' wishes, as we always have, and remove ourselves from this matter.
We wish Lionel all the best in his current situation and welcome the opportunity to speak with him when he is free to plan his own future etc.

Privately of course we tell Messi that we have his back and he is welcome anytime but not for anything remotely close to the figures being talked about in public.

You know something’s got this forum going when the Isco thread is all the way down on page 6! If we sign Messi, does the Isco pantomime finally get locked and put to bed?

I think you’re talking fucking shite and there is zero (nil, none, nada) chance that Messi ever pulls on a Barca shirt for a competitive game again.

Incredible innit. Dragging possibly the greatest player in the history of the sport, one who’s been at the club since he was 13, through the mud. There’s no way back. Fuck Barca.

I see bluemoon hasnt changed a bit since i last left! I love this board.

That being said, can anyone with sound knowledge, explain exactly what cry baby tebas just released? If anyone, say city , pay far less than the release clause, is it possible to release the player or is the release set in stone?

If the selling club agrees the player can always leave for less

When did Sane publicly state he wanted to go to Munich?

I get that but Bayern had been in talks with city for some time & made it clear they wanted him.

I see it as a good situation we hear nothing from city & messi. I’m just trying to establish do we have anything official

If Messi leaving was apparently stated prior the Bayern match( which it reportedly was), then surely all this palava is the inevitable, almost scripted aftermath- with a inevitable, almost scripted outcome??..

There is a danger of a legal battle though.
City must therefore distance themselves at the moment. Barcelona have his registration, and until that is released he is going nowhere.

Been out for a few hours and have obviously missed something from Texas or La Liga. Is there a link to this?

Haha. This is the 4h time we’ve tried to sign Messi, I think our interest is on record.
