What would be the point of that?What’s to say Jorge has travelled to Barcelona, and agreed he’ll leave on a free after next season, with the blessing of the new president?
I don't think so. Messi can apply for an international transfer certificate through FIFA. That could break the log jam (see FIFA Transfer Dispute Resolution) through an arbitration tribunal. This process can neuter Barcelona and La Liga's legal threat.This journalist from Argentina is close to the Messi camp and has had several interview with Messi in the past. Anybody who follows Messi knows he rarely does interviews.
He reported that Messi is discouraged after speaking to his father and finding out first had that Bartomeus stance is firm and does not under any circumstances to end up in the courts. He had a very rough experience when he was convicted of tax evasion in Spain.
according to this gentleman Messi will make a definitive move tomorrow and advise that he will stay and sign with city come January for the 2021-22 season.
The host of the Spanish show el Chiringuito stated that he doesn’t believe Messi will make a move like that, this quick on the heels of the first meeting. We shall see.
I can't work out if that's a statement or a question.If he doesn’t leave now he will never, is he using us to get what he wants and if so he will never leave
He already has put papers into FIFA has he not? I can't see what else it would be for besides the International clearance.I don't think so.

He also has time on his side. At this moment Bartomeu can appear tough now but this position will become untenable if Messi stands firm. I can not see that Barca will go into the new season with Messi 'on strike' and the player free to arrange a free transfer in January. This is a very damaging process for Barcelona and I don't think they can maintain this stand off with new season days away.

It won't go that far. Barcelona can not maintain this position and the player is probably already seeking a free transfer. As that advances that could undercut Barcelona leaving them forced to negotiate on Messi's terms. And City pick up the pieces. I'd have preferred barcelona to back down immediately but they have nowhere to go is Messi resists. If Messi wants to move to City he is free to apply to FIFA for a ruling on his transfer certification.100 %, Its now or never
