Lionel Messi - v7

[xxxxxx]

[Alfremartinezz] | Leo Messi will not go tomorrow to take the tests to rejoin Barcelona. He reaffirms that his contract has expired and that his decision to leave the club is final. Tomorrow, he will not rejoin the team's discipline, and he has made this known to the club.

Stunning.

He wouldn't do that if he didn't have a case.

He's trying to get Barcelona some money but that piece of shit is making it difficult.

Only in FC Cuckalona is Barto at fault for asking Messi to honour his contract which he is paid 1m a week to do so.

Shame on Messi for trying to take advantage of the club's goodwill by trying to use a clause that was meant for a return to Argentina not a European rival ffs

Someone get this lad some medications.

Valverde cartwheeling has fried your synapses.

 

[Messigician]

In his contract there is a clause which allows Messi to leave for free, your dear Barto agreed to that with Messi when they signed the contract.

Which has now expired

Messi's lawyers right now deem Messi free to leave the club so Barca are not paying him a penny for the 2020/21 season. Even if they are, they will not accept it if they think he is free to leave.

Despite this they are working on getting Bartomeu to negotiate an exit where they don't have to try to argue their case to use that clause in a court of law. This is by negotiating an amicable exit where receive some form of compensation from Man City. Whether that is 100m, 50m + Garcia + Angelino, or something else, that offer is on the table.

I know it's tough to understand for some of you beehive minds, but that's the reality of the situation right now.

If it goes to court who is more likely to win, Messi or Barca?

Which has now expired

No it didn't because of COVID 19

I don't know what's written in his contract and neither does anyone else apart from these two parts, but it seem like based on news reports most experts believe Barca have the better case.

But if that's the case then it means he is trying to leave for free. Which no club would accept. But judging by the past few daya Im sure another report will come out today that will contradict this.

I'm sure that is the absolute last resort Messi and his attorneys are willing to use, as it's going to be a long, drawn out legal battle. It's just a move to ensure Bartomeu acts like a good man and negotiates a sale so he can leave on decent terms with the club. Obviously the rat isn't willing to budge right now so he's not training so he still has this last resort exit tactic if needed.

Make that 5 minutes

Messi had a contract allowing him to leave for free, obviously this was done with the intention he'd head back to Argentina when he feels hes done here. Messi and his lawyers will use this contract to join an oil club for FREE.

Iniesta and Xavi had the same contract, Iniesta went to China and Xavi Qatar

Barto is a cunt we can all agree but hes a cop out right now and hes gone after the elections. only Barca suffer from this

 

[DonAK]

It's pretty reasonable and clear what's going on for me. Neither side have made themselves look particularly good here, but this could have been avoided had Bartomeu agreed to sit down and negotiate with them.

 

[Latschenkiefer]

He has spent more than half of his life at the club, has so much achieved with us and has earned a fortune. And as soon as things get tough he wants to run away and forces his way out to a competitor in the CL? What a terrible mindset.

 

[Messigician]

This has been the most traumatic month of Barcelona?s recent history. Their Champions League ambitions were spectacularly kneecapped by Bayern Munich in Lisbon, as the German side triumphed by an 8-2 scoreline. The fallout has been remarkable.

First came the exit of head coach Quique Setien, replaced by the club?s former player Ronald Koeman. Then came the departure of Eric Abidal, a former Champions League winner with Barcelona during his playing days, as technical secretary. Now, however, we are witnessing the most extraordinary developments yet. On Tuesday evening, Barcelona?s six-time Ballon d?Or winner and global icon Lionel Messi informed the club of his desire to leave. Not only did he want to quit, but he also wished to do so for free.

Messi?s contract at Barcelona is due to expire in June 2021 at the end of next season. It contains a release clause of ?700 million. Yet while negotiating the deal, the Barcelona captain and the club agreed upon a clause that would allow him to unilaterally terminate his deal at the end of 2019-20. He needed to do so by June 10, 2020, in order to break his contract and leave the club on a free transfer. Messi did not do this.

Sell Messi, sign Auba for a couple years and instantly replace his goals. Sign haaland 2 years later. Done

 

[Messigician]

However, Messi and his representatives are making a different argument. They claim that the calendar of the 2019-20 season was disfigured by the COVID-19 pandemic and as such, the clause should be allowed to be triggered at the end of the playing season. Barcelona?s campaign, which would ordinarily end in May, instead finished when they exited the Champions League in Lisbon on August 14.

On the evening of Tuesday, August 25, Messi?s representatives informed Barcelona by burofax that he wished to leave the club and would now invoke the clause. Over the past week, Manchester City, Inter Milan, Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United have all been credited with an interest in signing the forward, although City firmly lead the way.

It leaves Barcelona, declared the world?s richest club by Deloitte earlier this year, in a public war with arguably the greatest footballer of all time. There is a fierce dispute over whether the clause can be legally invoked. This tension is heightened because, should Messi be deemed to be in breach of contract by joining another club for free, a legal battle could then ensue and Messi could be liable to pay ?700 million to Barcelona. In addition to a potential nine-figure battle in court, FIFA?s sanctions could, in the worst-case scenario, land Messi with a ban from playing football and the hiring club with a ban from signing players for two transfer windows.
