There is genuinely not much difference between going bankrupt and Yamal leaving, the level of disaster is approximately equal

The Messi "debacle" was planned. You really think they had to go over the books for three months before finally coming to the conclusion it is not feasible?

I don't remember if the financial gap was disclosed but maybe club failed in selling players that window to fund his renewal.

I don't see why very detailed personal and team performance metrics can't be structured in to every player's contract where salary can never be begrudged if underperforms to expectations.

Going bankrupt is far worse. It kills the club from top to bottom.

Losing a star player is nowhere near the massive blow bankruptcy is.

You can always rebuild with the money after losing a star player. Teams often get better after losing their star players. Bankruptcy never does any good and jeopardizes the present and future of the club.

Because agents aren't stupid?

Why tf would players sign that contract? What if they get an injury, get benched or fall out with the manager?

All you can do is add performance related bonus amounts.

I have combined my thoughts on this issue into one post. I may have to come back to this post in the future when we find ourselves in a pit again.

In fact, Laporta is now facing the same choice Bartomeu once did — although slightly easier, since Leo's stature was still greater than Yamal's is today.

It’s obvious that Bartomeu, being a financier, understood that renewing Leo's contract under insane conditions would negatively affect the club’s wage structure and ultimately threaten its financial future. But at the same time, he couldn’t get the thought out of his head that the fans would tear him apart if he didn’t extend Leo. And the fans — let's be honest — are mostly short-sighted. They don’t think in the long term. Even now, look at the majority of their comments: “Give Yamal whatever he wants. He’s our best player.”

Bartomeu lacked the character and strength of spirit to make a decision that, in the long run, would have saved the club from financial trouble. And we all know how it ended. Bartomeu left, leaving behind a mess. Messi and the "amigos" left, leaving the same mess. And not one of them, except for Piqué, forgave the club a single cent when it found itself in a dire financial situation.

After Leo’s departure, Laporta said — the club is above any player.

Laporta, either you show character and protect the club from future financial problems, or you cave in to Yamal’s family, to Mendes, out of fear of the majority of fans who would be outraged if Yamal decides to leave after rejecting the club’s offer — and in doing so, you’ll once again jeopardize the club’s long-term sporting and financial stability.

The choice is yours, Laporta.

Team would obviously underperform if he's injured so maybe only personal metrics then based on per minutes played. Meaning difference from highest paid if injured or underperforms to Messi-esque pay if not and performing.

Yamal's smart enough to know there aren't many options in the world if he wants to play way he has been and wants. But we should be worried possibility he won't improve or worse become unhappy if we don't build a team worthy of his ability.
