It's okay, we can get him next summer.

Vidal: Barca have done things that are not in keeping with a first-level team. In the end, this is what happens when you face an organized team like Bayern, a team that has a winning mentality with players who are physically prepared and have a very good playing system. Vidal: I don't...

:worthy: Make him player-manager.

Bartomeu will seek to keep Messi in Barcelona and leave the new administration with the issue of renewing his contract. [md] :bartomeu:

I blame him. Either show up to training or if he is so confident his contract has expired take it to court. He does not have the stones to do either. Instead lad is sat at home leaking to the media.

Messi doesn't want this dispute over the clause in his contract to go to court and City won't want the risk of retroactively being charged 700m in a few months after signing him. Leo will leave either through a negotiated deal or a fee set by FIFA via the Webster ruling. Right now Messi is...

If the likes of MD are Barto propaganda then journos like Alfredo Martinez and Veronica Brunati are Messi loyalists. Both clearly getting fed information from Leo's camp and are leaking one sided stories that take his position on every issue.

Don't disrespect Ney like that.

Lionel Messi's 700 million euro release clause does not exist in his last Barca season. That expired after the 2019/20 season. [ser]

Board have plugged their ears and hope the problem will go away if they ignore it long enough. Messi has packed bags and is pouting at home. Brilliant stuff all around.

Messi once again asks the club to seek a friendly exit. [Alfredo Martinez] Nothing friendly about skipping training mate. Both parties look ugly here. Nothing unexpected from Bartomeu, but thought Leo would be better.

Barto still needs to posture for another week or so. After that negotiations should begin.

Gone from suck, to bite, to tickle in a matter of days. Unbelievable scenes.

There were new contacts between Suarez's agent and Juventus today. [Di Marzio] Juve might be the only big club in the world that loves finished geriatrics more than us. :worthy:

If he wants to force his way out he will. Either the courts will side with him on the clause in his contract or FIFA will set a fee under 100m for him if it comes to that. The board knows this. This hardman act by Barto is pathetic. Too many political games and optics warfare for my liking.

Right now Messi's intention is to NOT appear for the PCR tests on Sunday, on the advice of his lawyers. [cat radio] War is on.

Bartomeu does not accept Messi leaving for a price less than 700 million euros. He still believes Messi is a staple of the Koeman project. [Alfredo Martinez]

Barcelona board does not want to meet with Messi if the goal of the conversation is to negotiate his exit. [cat radio]
