watch out, this could also be a way to clean a little bit his image in case he stays, I mean he stays not because a contract say that but because He chose to stay
There is nothing to negotiate. If there is no clause City won't give a dime for him. Things are pretty straightforward if what Messi family is claiming is true. If there is no clause why the hell is he still here? If things were that simple he would be in Manchester already.
"“This compensation (€700M Clause) will not apply when the termination of the contract is by the player’s unilateral decision from the end of the 2019/20 season” is literally stated in the contract. You can’t battle against facts..."

Maybe under one condition, and that is must be communicated before the end of the season (?)
Still very risky. Messi loses? pays 700m? Barca loses? nothing?
We’ve had reports saying they’d pay up to 150m, but also reports saying they will only take him for free. So saying City won’t give a dime for him is just speculation. Imo they would offer a deal up to 100m if it comes down to that.
