If Messi leaves now for free, Bartomeu will be the most hated person in Catalonia.

Where is he gonna go


Well its a bit controversial. The clause says he can leave before June for free.

Its past June, but then also there are extenuating circumstances because of Covid, What June really means in spirit is after the season.

But this cunt board wont let him go easy so w/e this is going to get ugly. Its amazing how things keep rotting and rotting and have to hit rock bottom before stuff changes. Even when they were winning this eventuality was coming.

Everyone should just support Bayern if they want to maintain their sanity or some shit. I dono.. atleast even if they arent good or not winning you can appreciate the team is run by and large and they generally make good decisions to counter bad ones relatively quickly.. Unless your German and not a Bayern supporter or something idk.


These clauses pretty sure, that if players chose to play outside of the season it can not have negative impact on them, and if Barcelona does some kind of magic like that. It would destroy the club. Imagine forever being the club that used pandemi against it's greastest player of al time. Talk about a shitstorm

It would be insane if he left for Bayern. The whole region of Catalonia would be burnt to the ground.

Oh boy... The neutral romantic in me would like to see Messi do the one man club thing, the neutral pragmatist thinks it would be a crying shame for the best player of his generation to wind down his career with an increasingly dysfunctional club.

Messi is quite a tight lipped fellow but his opinion on this current board and Bartomeu are pretty common knowledge. I wonder if this is more a power play to push Bartomeu out before the elections.

It's already rumoured in Spanish media that if Bartomeu resigns Messi could stay.

According to Spanish TV3, Messi called Pep three days ago to ask if Man City would pick him up.

Do you guys think if Bartomeu resigns, Messi will end up staying? Not sure if Koeman is also another reason Messi wants to leave.

But the club is already in the rebuilding phase. Suarez is gone etc.

i feel like thats stating the obvious. honestly, if he leave barca, where else is messi going to go? hes not going to go to another club for a "challenge". man city has the money to pay him, a coach he likes and most likely will let him do whatever he wants, and a close friend already there.

Bartomeu can't resign as apparently (I didn't know until recently) if the direction leaves the club with debts, they'll be liable for it. Imo, Messi is gone 100% but there are 2 options: 1) they let him out for free, 2) they tell him that they'll accept any offer above XM€ (50 to 100 I'd guess). The 3rd option would be to go to court over his contract and I think that'd be even more suicidal for the board while now they have a tiny tiny tiny chance of redeeming themselves by starting the rebuilding of the team. At least people could say that they were the ones that had to take the difficult decisions of letting the golden generation players go.

As for Messi, I believe City would be the best club for him and it wouldn't put City in a tough spot after he leaves. Inter would have to build the team around him, and PSG would have a crazy attack but it'd ruin any chance they'd have at building a real team. French medias are saying there's a supposed deal with Beckham for Messi to join his club in the US (Inter Miami) with a great tax deal, for when he retires from European football. The planned date was for 2021 and it was done months ago. I don't think it'd be crazy to see Messi do one more year in Europe before leaving next year. In that scenario, clubs won't want to have to pay a transfer fee on top of the salary. So if Messi leaves for a fee, he'll probably stay a couple of years in his new club, if he leaves for free.... 1 year? It also depends if Messi really wants to be in a good shape for the Qatar WC (sounds crazy, but after all the losses with the NT, he might not care as much anymore). Fun drama time.

How would Inter afford his wages?

Most realistic is 1) City and 2) PSG imo

Chinese owners. They have caaaaaash. It would probably still be a bit handicapping and they wouldn't be able to recruit too much/raise salaries. But they have Lautaro that Barça wants, I could see some deal.

I doubt he goes to Inter, they would still need 3-5 more signings to be able to compete with Juve, I don't see Messi going into a team still building at this stage of his career.
