Yeah, I fear that as well. He can say fuck it after the WC, I will enjoy the last years of easy life in Barcelona. Barca's only pressure on him is the WC currently.The risk of #1 is that Mats is content with staying on the bench for a couple of years after the loan and playing WC26.
There are two scenarios:
1. Barca agree to everything (despite paying a big chunk of the salary) to be on good terms with MATS and make a gentlemen's agreement that he leaves in summer.
2. Barca reject any deal that isn't good for our finances. And tell MATS to fuck off without compromise.
The risk of #1 is that Mats is content with staying on the bench for a couple of years after the loan and playing WC26. That's why we need to make an agreement that he definitely leaves in summer in order for us to make this "bad" deal. Same with #2, that it can have a reverse effect that he stays out of spite.
). And I think he's the only player who, if he wants to shoot you in the face, can shoot you in the face. The others would miss. But unfortunately, he has the ability to shoot exactly where he wants to shoot. And that's what he did. Several times, when he was angry. And I think he was a little angry with me sometimes." Messi was on astronomical wages. 138m euros per season with a total contract valued at 555m euros. This while we were broke as fuck and strapped down because of Spanish FFP regulations.Messi was forced out while Mats got a new contract. Laporta
It’s not about whether it was deserved or not. We couldn’t afford to keep paying his astronomical wages. Simple as that.True, Messi's wages were well deserved. Uncomparable with MATS, I agree.
If this is true, we may as well bench him.Girona will only cover €1M of Ter Stegen's salary (10%). The rest 90% will be covered by Barça. [@mundodeportivo]

But yeah… Mats shouldn’t be here but his wages are incomparable to what Messi was earning. That’s not on Laporta but merely the reality of the situation.
Yup because Bartomeu decided to play monopoly.Messi was forced out after the end of the 555m contract.
