Look, I just know this is a game to force Barto to resign. If this goes to court, Barca will win and Messi will be forced to come back to training and all that. After that Barto will resign. I feel sorry for all the fans out there that actually believe that Messi will leave in this transfer window. He will retire at Barca. Every Barca fan knows this on the bottom of his heart. Every other option is just not viable and as we saw early this week, basically impossible, because no one will pay the 700 million release clause for him. Even City can't fund him. And Pep also recommended him to retire at Barca. Every indicator is poiting out on him staying.
