as per statement its clear ploy to scare Tebas into "PSG or you let us register him, your choice"

“Despite having reached an agreement between Barça and Leo Messi and with the clear intention of both parties to sign a new contract today, it will not be possible to formalize due to economic and structural obstacles (Spanish LaLiga regulations)”.
 
He's 34 and in my view not the best player in the world anymore.

This ship has sailed.
If you don’t think Messi is the best player in the world, I’m not sure you watched a minute of him last season. He’s led the world in basically every measurable on a Barcelona team that would be mid table without him. Have some shame.
 
Still think he could stay due to Tebas being shit scared and agreeing for make it easier for Barca to register him. could as well be the plan of Laporta to scare Tebas into it.

this is big chess game too much at stake for La Liga

Where has the narrative that Tebas is scared come from? Its complete fantasy nonsense.

This guy is currently suing Barcelona and Real Madrid over the super league, was on tv this afternoon telling Madrid he doesn't give a fuck about their objections to his CVC media deal or their threats to sue him because they always lose in court, and its his refusal to bend the rules that has got us here with Messi and Barcelona.

Not to mention he is the guy who took away money from those two and got it evenly distributed and he brought in these financial controls in 2014

He is a right-wing, racist prick but he is an exceptionally good chairman of La Liga and has made his entire tenure about slapping down the big 2.

He isn't going to break, this is what he wants.

Us or PSG signing Messi is the dream for him because it will give him even more ammunition and lots more supporters for his campaign against middle Eastern owners which is probably going to be the cornerstone of his attempt to rise to the top of UEFA.
 
Bit of a shot statement from Barcelona, not even a thank you.

They might well have time to try again once tebas softens.

The earlier claims messi is unconvinced by the project and refused the contract are interesting.
Tbf they did say thanks:

'FC Barcelona wholeheartedly expresses its gratitude to the player for his contribution to the aggrandisement of the club and wishes him all the very best for the future in his personal and professional life.'
 
But imagine all those Messi fanboys and the publicity that comes with signing him? If PSG wants him to play with Neymar. They can have him. They must be deluded to think they can still create magic from an already stale partnership.
Wouldn't like to be Pochettino in charge of all those bellends! Realistically what power will ge have in that dressing room? Messi, Neymar, Mbappe, Di Maria ect a team full of egos...
I genuinely hope he joins PSG and I hope we get them in the Champions League again next season, Gave them a footballing lesson in two games and we'll give them another footballing lesson with Messi in their side.
