Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

It's certainly odd that his contact is so close to ending, and yet no news at all.

If he goes to PSG, as many are suggesting, you'd have to wonder how a French side can afford the wages of an attack of Messi, Mbappe, di Maria & Neymar, within FFP.

They are giving Donnarumma an insane contract as well

Not really, more to do with agent fees, estimated to be around €30m+
He's also not a guaranteed starter, because Navas had a great season. Raiola basically cost him a move to Juve and had it end very bad at Milan who did not consider giving him a contract for months on and just silently signed on Maignan.

Joan Laporta: 'I don't contemplate or consider a no from Leo Messi'

The president of FC Barcelona has referred to the renewal of the Argentine star and the current situation at the Club in the presentation of the documentary ‘Messi, the tenth art’

The president of FC Barcelona Joan Laporta referred this Wednesday evening to the renewal of Leo Messi, coinciding with the presentation of the TV3 documentary of the Argentine; 'Messi, the tenth art': “Leo Messi's boots will continue on the Camp Nou pitch. He wants to stay. I do not contemplate a no. But it isn't easy. We'll do what we can. There is no need to seduce him, he is determined if there are a series of circumstances to stay."

Asked when the continuity of the player could be announced, Joan Laporta explained that "the idea is as soon as possible." "He is OK but he hasn't signed yet. Kun Agüero tells him every day: "Sign that, we will play together." In economic terms, he has made it very easy, but financial fair play is another battleground."

that is a very strange thing to say

Weird that they’re trying to present aguero trying to convince him to stay as a positive.

You know, considering his contract officially ends in 2 weeks

His contract will be sorted one way or another - either with Barca or a new club IMO. You don't go into a tournament risking injury without your future sorted

If it's sorted with Barca surely they would have let the world know by now?

Exactly my thinking - they definitely wouldn't be doing interviews like Laporta has done saying 'we hope he'll sign'. It just doesn't make sense to me that he's gone to the Copa without his future sorted

Thankfully only two weeks until this thread dies a death

He's not decided to retire, has he?!
