Maybe that's called loyalty, no?

Same loyalty that led to him making this fuss to begin with? Did it also tell him not to pitch up for training? Was it asleep while he was sending the burofax?

And people called Ronaldo a drama queen when this gnome is having a mood swing each year added with his endless sulking on the pitch.

Retire pls

It gives 1 more year to end the partnership properly instead of bs legal actions

I dislike when legends career end in scandals... whoever's fault it is

Messi last match at Barca would be a 2-8 defeat followed by a battle with the club he spent 15 years there ? Crap

Did anyone want Messi's end to look like this?

At the end of the day it looks like Messi's lawyers screwed up royally. Why did they let him go through with the burofax if it was not enforceable?

Looks like we'll know today as a statement is incoming from the Messi camp.

Having said that I think he will stay, despite the fact that I wish he went to City.

NATIONAL LEAGUE OF PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL Mr. Javier Tebas Medrano President Barcelona, ​​September 4, 2020

Mr. Jorge Horacio Messi, as representative of the professional soccer player, Mr. Lionel Andrés Messi, in response to the Informative Note published on August 30, 2020 by La Liga Nacional de Fútbol Profesional, in relation to the player's contractual situation, and apart from its obvious partiality for the role that such institution represents, in defense of the interests of its associates (football clubs), I must state that:

18.- We do not know which contract is the one that they have analyzed, and what are the bases on which they conclude that it would have a "termination clause" applicable in case the player decides to urge the unilateral termination of the same, with effects from the end of the 2019/2020 sports season.

29.- This is due to an obvious error on your part. Thus, as literally stated in clause 8.2.3.6. of the contract signed between the club and the player,

"This compensation will not apply when the termination of the contract by unilateral decision of the player takes effect from the end of the 2019-2020 sports season."

Without prejudice to other rights that are included in the contract and that you omit, it is obvious that the compensation of 700 million euros, provided for in the previous clause 8.2.3.5, does not apply at all.

Looks like they’re preparing to terminate the contract. This will be fun to see unfold

Boring waste of my time.

If they are so sure about that clause then terminate the contract, no need to issue a public statement to contradict la liga. These people act like this is a court of public opinion.

Put your money where your mouth is lmao, we haven’t learned anything new.

Please, the only reason he didn't jump ship a long time ago was because over the past 10 years we've been run extremely well (just as his exit was managed), making quality additions year-in-year out and putting together a legendary team which he was part of (never as a main man, as contrary to popular belief - he was on the end of the chances our hugely talented players created)

Now let's look at Barca - 27 freaking transfers since winning the treble in 2015, and none of those have made a long-term positive impact. They were screwed by Neymar in 2017, got paid 222 million euros for it and splashed that huge sum and some more on 2 completely misfits and one 20 y.o. scrub from Dortmund lol. They've went from a midfield composed of Busquets, Keita, Xavi, Thiago, Iniesta and Fabregas in 2011/12 to a washed up Busquets, an overrated little piece of ginger shit from Ajax, old Rakitic, old Vidal and some La Masia scrubs (biggest football myth of all time btw, they've got lucky having one generation of greats including a freakish alien talent in Messi himself).
This board have lived off Messi's back all those years thinking that it's a given he'll stay with Barca for his entire career, until he's finally pulled the plug making them panic like never before.
Luckily for Barca he won't leave.

After Messi they'll go back to being the small club they've always been (just that now they can say they got lucky once). Imagine winning 3 CLs in a decade with the best and most talented athlete of all time in your squad. They've ruined his career tbh.

Maybe if he didn't siphon all their money they could have put it to better use. There is a reason they are called Messi and the amigos and that's in part Barca's fault for giving him so much leniency but mostly his for being ok with mediocrity as long as they were one of his amigos

It's better this like imo this is a bad way to go out, would be a bad look for messi no matter what, ditching the team after getting destroyed in the CL is not how a club legend is suppose to act, but I will give him some leeway since he had that clause to walk, just play half heartedly and leave in January tell the barca fans later.

Latest: Messi will give an official communication at 18:00 CET (ie in 18 minutes) through.... GOAL.com

Some journalist saying he will announce to stay for the last season lmao

Bartomeu bitch slapped Messi

If it's going to be his last season at Barca then I highly doubt he'll end up at Manchester next year.

Italy's new found tax haven seems perfect for him. Depends entirely whether CCP will approve the signing for Inter tho

Can someone clue me in on how Italy is now a tax haven?

Messi is a clown, he says he told the club since last season that he wanted to go but he didn’t activate the clause in his contract when he was supposed to? Stfu

Official hes staying

He's talking sh*t about Barto and the Board though

What a waste should have seen this coming i remember his knee-jerk reaction of retiring from Argentina

Where are all the journalists who said Messi is gone. I’m going to start by unfollowing that Veronica chick

Yes, same loyalty....which you don't understand little kid

Loyalty does not mean that you have to agree with whatever the corrupted board does and can not reply back or threaten to leave.

Another year of Shitlona and Refrids.
