You`ve got me all moist Kaz. ;)
 
I presume city are leaving things to Messi and Barça to sort. So if Barça say to Messi you pay us 100m for instance well let you go for free.
If that 100m is reimbursed to Messi from our end, would it be in or out of our books in terms of
Ffp?

I would still think ok if it would be 100m euros + angelino + Garcia. Still too much, but ok with it.

100m£ + Garcia + Jesus??

Piss Right off

100m euros + angelino (35) + Garcia (25) is 160 million euros. Even that's ridiculous.

Honestly at this point Barca should just let him out of his contract and we can sign him on a free just saying

Your thoughts shall immediately be relayed to Bartomeu and the Barca board, and this should lubricate the rusty wheel of football transfer administration, and seal the deal!

Behind his door the president shouted before: "I will not let him go, I have already said it a thousand times and I repeat it. We are not going to sell or give to Messi."

Don’t believe a word coming out from his mouth. I follow spanish football for a little while now and Bartomeu is one of the best lyer of all times. Some people say ADL from Napoli is a « pain in the ass president « but at least he loves his club. Bartomeu doesn’t give a damn about Barca or Messi he just thinking about saving his ass now because him and his team destroyed Barca finances and reputation.

He knows he doesn’t have the choice and some people in Spain believe he was thinking about selling Messi for a little while now. The goal is to try to balance the budget.He looks dumb and innocent but he is one of the best manipulator.

Let me see if I have this right:

Messi and his camp say they have 2 clauses of significance to Barca in the contract:
1. The release clause for 700+ million which ceases to exist after season 2019-20 i.e in 2020-21
2. A clause that enables him to terminate the contract on June 10 2020 of the season and walk. As intimated by Bart in the interview of 2017.
(The June dates for the purposes of this COVID season in player contracts have already been deemed to have moved and to now mean the equivalent of "End of Season" by FIFA) so I contend that this apples here also.

Surely if he exercises his right to 2 then 1 doesn't even apply or any of its intricacy? They cannot impose a term of value onto a contract (as there must be in Spanish law when such a compulsory value is redacted) if there is no contract!

This would mean the only bunfight would be over the exact day in the contract terms. Nobody ever envisaged a season would be this protracted to insert #Days from End of Season in the contract terms as a cut off date for the clause (Unfortunate). So a court may have to decide which date the intentions of the parties had in mind at the time the contract was constructed. I think in such a case Barca would NOT be acting in good faith if they purport they meant June 10th no matter what, as already stated he then could have walked before the CL quarters in effect in mid season.

I think our lawyers have already looked at it and made that decision.
I cannot see us forking out players and cash to the tune of 150 MIllion worth when he walks for free next May, in 9 months anyway.
Barca execs dreaming of rodding us for 300 million are living in their own wet dreams.
 
La liga know if Messi leaves they will lose a awful lot of money so it suits them if he stays, who will be the face of Spanish football when he joins City

It’s difficult to say, but I know who will have a face like a smacked arse.

Messi has already said his goodbyes to the Barcelona backroom staff. Just before he left he turned to the the tea ladies and said - "Don't cry for me Marge n' Tina".

Yaa, was citing as a worse case.

Come to think of it, obviously the player should also want to move clubs.

Garcia obviously wants to go. Jesus doesn't strike as one who is pushing for a move. He has been patient and despite some limitations, actually suits Pep's system. I doubt its true. Barca is a mess right now not exactly attractive destination.

Was only concerned, coz cheeseman was right about the CAS verdict
 
Seems there is a lot of posturing in the media by Barca. They already know Messi is a gonner for them. It's all about face saving and getting a fee (even if one is not due).
Feels the same for City as well. Leak an outrageous high deal (e.g. Cheeseman) and when a middle ground compromise is reached everyone walks away without feeling like being on the losing side.
City will want this finished asap and not be dragged out in court, I believe we've had enough of those days out for awhile.

Messi to City, yes... for a fee. About £80mil.
And Garcia.
