Looks like Messi is about to take this further then. He's in his right to leave the club for free. I just don't think this is good from either side. Messi is about to be pissed off. I'm sure he'll still give his best, but I doubt his head will be out there when playing. And if we're losing and...

Our squad is not good enough to compete at the highest level regardless of who the manager is. Our squad is too old. Besides, we have no money to rebuild properly. Only Rakitic and Vidal are leaving, so we'll still be stuck with Suarez, Alba, Busquets. Koeman is an okay manager, but I feel he...

This has gone far beyond just wanting Bartomeu out now. He clearly wants to leave. Besides, Bartomeu leaving today won't solve our mess. We'll still have no money to change things. We'll still have a shit squad. We still won't have the manager to turn us into a great team again. It's going to...

The board know damn well that Messi can leave on a free, so they're in panic mode right now. Messi is giving them a chance to leave on good terms and so they get something from his exit. I guarantee if they play hard ball that Messi will win.

Bartomeu trying his best to look like the good guy. What a disgusting person he is.

So the breaking news and unexpected turn of events is no club can afford to buy out his release clause? Big shocking news there. And these "insiders" actually get paid for this shit?

This board is stupid as fuck. Messi will just take it to the court and win his case. He's in his right to leave the club for free. Instead of negotiating a price, they're willing to let him leave for free. I guarantee you this doesn't end well for Bartomeu.

Who the hell is this guy? Just checked.... and it's just some random YouTuber. Probably wants some clout from Messi. I doubt this guy is credible.

You're using their 18/19 wage bill. They don't have Sane, Kompany and David Silva there anymore. Their wage bill has been reduced by a lot.

It's all there. https://www.spotrac.com/epl/manchester-city-fc/payroll/

He won't do it. He's only saying he will because he knows Messi is leaving. He's just trying to make it seem he did everything he could to stop Messi from leaving. Besides, Bartomeu stepping down today won't accomplish anything. He leaves in 8 months anyway. The new board is years away from...

He can resign, but it would mean he's paying out of his own pockets to do so.... the same with the other members of the board.

This is just a power play from Bartomeu. He can at least say he tried to keep Messi here. He's trying to make Messi look like the bad guy here. He knows damn well he can't resign without legal complications. He probably knows Messi is going, so he's just trying to force Messi to make a decision.

Bartomeu is also a lying piece of shit. Messi still won't stay regardless if he leaves or not. We're in a big mess. You really think Messi wants to keep playing in a struggling Barcelona for another 3 years?

Bartomeu is not going to resign. He can't resign. We keep hearing he's going to resign to keep Messi here, but yet he's still here. If that were the case, he would have done it as soon as Messi handed in that transfer request. Even if he does resign, what's that going to do for us? We'll still...

That's bullshit. Neymar, Mbappe, Cavani, Marquinhos and Di Maria are all on big salaries there. There's no way they can also afford to pay for Messi's salary without breaking the FFP. Considering Man City have a lot of money, their wage structure is actually pretty decent. They only pay around...

Bartomeu should stay the fuck out of this. He's just making things worse and worse. Be glad when he's officially out of here.

https://twitter.com/MessiMX10i/status/1298924223025602562 See. It was taken out of context. He still wants to leave. But he did think long and hard about not wanting his children to go through what he went through.

He's just speculating. He's saying Messi may not want his children to go to another country at such an early age. I'm pretty certain Messi thought about this long and hard before he put in a transfer request.
