With Covid and the current situation of this board trying to limit financial losses for which they can be made accountable, I would not expect big spending. If they can get a transfer fee for Messi, they might use some of it. Also, for a lot of the players they want to kick out, they will not get much of a transfer fee, look at Rakitoc going back to Sevilla.

The player we know they are targeting is Memphis Depay, that’s the level of signings they can afford.

Sancho would be the one to get.

But that's almost impossible now in this window, it would take a decidedly higher offer than the 120m BVB were asking before their training camp deadline, so they can justify still selling him now

Of course, if Barca do their usual shtick of persuading the player to go on strike and offering 150m, it will happen

That trick wont work. Not with this current version of the team.

No it isn't


Latest news is that Messi's father has landed in Barcelona from Argentina this morning and will meet with Bartomeu to negiotiate the exit.

Good day to you, Mashaallah.

They literally tracked Messis fathers flight route from Rosario to Barcelona. Tier 1 journalist work

Whens the meeting? I thought it was today

The first Bartomeu-Jorge Messi meeting ends without an agreement after 1.5 hours. More to follow in the coming days.

Messi's decision did NOT change. He wants his departure to be friendly and with a market value close to €122m. Bartomeu does not want to negotiate per @DamianAvillagra @Sportia @TyCSports

Bartomeu wants to burn the whole thing to the ground before he leaves. He will stick to 700M release clause and go to court.

The damage is irreversible. I am shocked and saddened that Messi gets a farewell like this. Huge blow to everything Barca stands for.

Imagine had he ordered wine. Journos would say Messi's dad is celebrating

Barto is like that stubborn ex-girlfriend that can't let go.

Cuatro is a shit source but they're saying Messi is now leaning towards staying, getting a proper farewell with fans next year and leaving for free summer2021

https://www.goal.com/en/news/messi-father-agent-stay-barcelona-talks-went-well/zztywcqmlpoa1ungl8egizosk

so seems like Messi is staying after all the drama

Of course there will be reports of him leaving after such a humiliating loss, under a coach afraid of his own shadow and then the prospect of Ronaldo fucking Koemann coaching you after.

Yes its obvious he wanted to leave but we must also measure it could be a reaction of right after the Bayern loss.

We must account that all the fans, teammates and several respected figures may also have been trying to convince him to stay.


So him remaining would not be the least bit surprising.

Messi also said he would quit Argentina NT right after the Copa 2016 final loss. Yet he is going to start for us in Qatar 2022

What a let down

starting all that drama and excitement for nothing to happen?

you MUST move now you little bitch. People should FORCE him to transfer.

Think he will stay

The signs of corruption in 'Barçagate' are obvious. Economic crimes could have been committed for personal gains. [el mundo]


no shit lol

Bartomeu was Rosell's muppet from the get go

no doubt Messi was upset with all of this. Cant blame him if he was pissed off when such things were happening at the club.

Mental midget confirmed if he just meekly stays in a declining team after all this.

Maybe that's called loyalty, no?

This guy's such a drama queen ffs

Utter waste of a transfer 'saga'
