Messi's meeting with the board will take place in the coming hours, remotely. Messi will ask for permission to leave without any legal disputes. [cat radio]

Let him go. He won't be happy here and in January the first thing he will do is sign a pre-contract with another club. Our season will be torpedoed with constant rumours and drama. Bartomeu, mate, your legacy is already fucked. Trying to hold our best player against his will reflects worse on...

Se Queda. Barto Masterclass. :bartomeu: :worthy:

I cannot say much more and I am one of those who thought it was irreversible but from what they tell me, stay tuned tonight on the Messi issue. It seems that an unexpected turn of events is coming. [Dani Senabre] He stays.

Manchester City chief executive Ferran Soriano is expected to meet Lionel Messi's father, Jorge in Catalonia early next week when he travels back from Argentina. [Times Sport]

Suarez asks Barca 25 million for a severance pay and to facilitate a move to Juventus. The Italian champions are keen on bringing him to Italy. [di marzio]

:rofl1: @Messigician watch and learn. This bloke is just being himself and massively outdoing you.

Bartomeu's offer to resign will not change Messi's view. The player wants to force the club to negotiate his departure, but Barcelona insists the only way for Messi to exit is to pay his 700 million exit clause. [cat radio]

Jorge Messi travels to Barcelona on Sunday. [Veronica Brunati]

If the agents of Suarez and the club do not reach an agreement on terminating his contract before Sunday, the player will go to train with his teammates. [SPORT] Amigos move.

Messi needs to speak soon. These sorts of leaking battles does no one good. We cannot move on anything else in the transfer market until this is settled.

Messi has made the decision to leave FC Barcelona with or without Bartomeu. The player's decision is not just about the president. He feels that the club does not offer him a sporting project to aspire to compete at the highest level. [Veronica Brunati]

Bartomeu is willing to resign if Messi announces that he will continue at Barca. [cat radio]

To cause all this drama and drag the club through the mud like this only to end up staying in the end would be disappointing. He has to go at this point. No need for players that don't want to be here.

It won't. This is just our starting position to show we have strength. Notice how now we are not refusing to negotiate. In the coming days the fee will keep going down.

Messi's father comes out and says an audio clip making the rounds reported to be from Leo is false. Not denying the actual rumour of him going to City itself.

Bartomeu is not inside the club's offices, he left at lunchtime. [Alfredo Martinez]

I think if he told those people to cut it out most would. He is a father figure to some of those kids.

The club is in crisis. Think it would be nice of Leo to come out with a 1 minute video just to put some people at ease and calm the waters even if he is leaving. Has not spoken a word since the 8-2 and yesterday he submits a transfer request. I don't think he realizes how big of a figure he is.

What is to be gained other than vanity and social media likes? Horrible optics as well. This is how you get people to feel sympathetic towards Barto.
