Lionel Messi Transfer Speculation

ÚLTIMA HORA SOBRE LEO MESSI

El crack argentino va anunciar la decisión, que ya tiene tomada, en las próximas horas. Messi será el que lo comunicará.

Por ahora, únicamente su entorno conoce su decisión, pero tengo la sensación de que no continuará en el Barça. #Messi pic.twitter.com/zWKaioJfCT

Messi has made a decision, they have a feeling he won't continue ffs

He's going to Inter, calling it right now

Also Barca without Messi best you can hope is to compete with Sevilla... in Europa League

Inter can't afford him lol

And the departure of Messi is crucial in order to start the new project. Everything revolves around him and it has to stop. I just wish he gets a proper farewell.

I heard Fred Hermel on RMC yesterday saying that Messi has plans to join Inter Miami when his contract ends. I wonder if that’s really in play. We could see his last year at Barca before he moves on. If all his friends like Pique, Suarez, Busquets are being pushed out, i doubt he will stick around yet again for another rebuild.

Does this person have any reliability? Dont know who he is.

I think Messi will stay

I don’t think he’ll go anywhere, but I hope it’ll happen. I’ve lost count of how many people on here have claimed that he’ll move to a new club and continue to dominate, as if they’ve already peered into that hypothetical future of his.

He doesn’t speak a shred of English, and has been playing in the comfort of an environment that’s been catering to him for so many years. His family will have to move and adapt to a new culture and environment as well. I’d love to see it.

I believe at Man City there's more players who speak Spanish than English, including the coach. I don't think that'd be a problem. Also Aguero is Messi's best buddy since forever so there's also that.

I think a Man City move is on the cards here.

@Rincon, I have no idea if that reporter is reliable.

Messi would dominate at City, and basically at any other team.

The conditions at City would be better for him than at current Barca anyway.

How confident. I’d absolutely love to see it.

To be fair Miami is one of the few cities in the US where you don’t need to speak English lol

I agree with Thimmy though, at this point I don’t imagine Messi being a mercenary and going to another European club

Agree with Thimmy that I just don't see Messi moving to England. The language, the climate, the culture, I just don't see him settling there. Also, it wouldn't be easy for him footballing wise and the amount of time he likes to spend walking about on the pitch would be a problem. If he's leaving Barca, I think he's looking to downgrade the challenge, not up it.

NOTICIA #DeportesCuatro

Ni City ni PSG ni Inter... el MANCHESTER UNITED es el club que negocia el fichaje de Leo Messi https://t.co/z0HRx0Dd8l

This Would be incredible

I think Cuarto are mildly reliable but if Messi moves to Manchester it'll definitely be to Etihad.

Deportes Cuatro

Tier: ZZZZZZZZZZ

Sucks that Stoke are not in Premier League anymore.... we could finally settle this debate

Realistically Messi has a 600m release clause. The only way he gets sold is if they negotiate for him. Messi has some leverage in that this is the last year of his contract, so if Barca wants to sell they need to do it now, or lose him for free.

Now, does Barca want to sell? No, it would be career suicide for Bart. So under what conditions could he sell and save face? Only for a truly ridiculous amount of money.

And would Messi leave for just about any club? No, presumably if he's leaving it's because he thinks he has a better chance to win trophies elsewhere.

So which clubs could swing that and give Messi a sporting project worth considering? Only City, PSG and United (maybe).

Of these I'd say City are the favorites as Messi has people there (Pep, Kun) and City need a KILLER

But that's assuming Messi even wants to leave, which we don't know.

And also, which club would willingly pay a ridiculous amount for Messi knowing they could get him for free next year (even if he will be old AF at this point the main thing Messi brings is marketing appeal)

Maybe next season won't be pretty but they are still one of the richest clubs in the world so yeah.. not like they should need Messi to compete.

Sheikhs dont care about money and it's last year of Pep's contract, makes sense imo

If Messi leaves Barca it’s bad news for PSG. They will lose Neymar and Mbappe to Madrid within two years

Messi thinks it's impossible to have a solid project with Bartomeu in charge. [rac1]

Messi has informed Barça that he wants to leave. He has asked them to refer to the clause in his contract which allows him to leave for free at the end of each season. [tyc sports]

so we won't even get a penny ffs

No way he has a clause like that

WAT

Messi would be great at Arsenal

Ojo !!! Leo Messi acaba de comunicar al Barcelona vía burofax que quiere abandonar el club. El jugador argentino se acogería a la cláusula que le permite rescindir el contrato unilateralmente.

Onda Cero: Messi has told the club that he wants to leave
