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.
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.

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.

There wont be such an agreement. Mats wont leave in the sumer unless he finds a club who pays the same.
The best thing we can get now is girona paying his wages until summer.
We should not pay a single euro, and say this to mats, if he doesnt agree-sit on the bench

Big mystery how he made it this long at Barca without being a Catalan. Messi of all people hated him. The guy basically admits it himself:


Someone asks about a good story that involves Messi.

Ter Stegen: "There were always topics ...
Interviewer: "What topics?"
Ter Stegen: "Sometimes frictions, sometimes less friction ... Stuff that happens in the locker room. Leo is a special character who draws motivation from a lot of things that we don't see. For me ... We had moments when things weren't so great between us. Because he got upset with me. And I got upset with him ( :lol: :lol: :lol:). 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."

So somehow the greatest player that has ever lived shoots him in the face for being a shit low performer (certainly didn't bully him for anything else like his hairstyle) and here we are. First captain of the team on a long contract. How?!

Messi was forced out while Mats got a new contract. Laporta
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.

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.

Messi was forced out after the end of the 555m contract.
