But but he makes 30% of their revenue 
My God the idiots that believed that load of nonsense.

PSG seems most likely but I think even they would insist on a pay cut. I mean he will probably still be on well over half a million per week but I don’t think he will get his Barca wage.
If they pass on him of course then he’s going to have to take a real heavy pay cut or find himself unemployed. Only if PSG for some mad reason don’t go for it do we have a shot.

Do you know how much he earns?
Kane is traveling back to England faster than light.
It is Messi though, I would gladly watch United get relegated and bankrupt in 5 years if it meant I can watch Messi here for the next 5 years.
If I was a billionaire I’d personally pay for his transfer if it were allowed.
We should try anyway if it’s for two seasons, transfer pays for itself.

He wasn't doing anything wrong.
The fact that Barca can't afford the money he wanted (because of their own inept dealings) is on them, not him. They don't have a divine right to employ Messi.
No way should we involve ourselves in this financial mess
Is this Tom Brady 2.0 for the Glazers?
Good shout that it may be done with a glancing eye at La Liga. You could see a situation where they relent and he just signs as a free agent.
According to The Athletic's coverage of the situation, it sounds like a ploy to pressure La Liga into giving them leeway with the wage cap.
The league would be losing its biggest star.

He was only asking Barcelona for what what he deserved! He was doing no wrong!But but he makes 30% of their revenue

Looks right.
I'll sell 2/3 of my company and pay for 6 months of Messi's 500k pw salary. Sign him up Woody.
On a more serious note: A lot of Agüeros motivation to even join Baca would have been to play with his best friend, Messi. I'm sure he's not hyped.
I am so weirded out that La Liga don't suspend the FFP for the Corona impact season. It's the only reason Messi is now forced to leave, and so many clubs have struggled to get under the salary cap roof.
Won't believe it until he signs for another club. Woody will be all over this.
He's still going to be playing for them next season. It's just all drama. La Liga also know that he brings in a lot of eyes. Wouldn't surprise me if they do cave.
Apparently nothing atmDo you know how much he earns?
Would be a hell of a ride.
If he leaves, i see only PSG
Official my arse. They're blackmailing La Liga. League is dead without Messi.
Chelsea, City, PSG...
Yeah, it's not a happy ending for Messi leaving after playing a full season without fans.
Could we? Could we?
Am hoping these are more tongue in cheek comments.
Think he will go to City, the thought of which is scary
Sounds like you're more of a fan of the player than of the club. Weird attitude.
Offer every penny we can afford please
He's good, but not quite quick enough and his head is too big for his body
No... and we shouldn't in my opinion
5 Years? He's 34. I think you'd be lucky to get three years out of him and he's already a fair bit below his absolute peak.
sounds like a decent company..
He'll back back at Barcelona in a few days. Its a power play between Barca and Messi v la liga finanical rules.
He's also 34 years old. Way past his prime. Not worth it.
I'll prefer to focus on developing Daniel James instead.
Also we have Martial.
Kane must be bricking it. City would gladly spunk every penny they were going to throw at him for Messi instead
They don't care enough about United for that.
Also, the owners get to lift the Superbowl trophy first (because America...) so it's an ego thing too.
Nothing more needs to be said, make it happen Woodward.
As others have said, an obvious ploy.
La Liga won't let him come to the Premiership, they will cave. Or PSG bound.

Messi que un club?
Fairly sure that was sarcasm.
The fact that literally six mins after Barca's announcement there are exclusives from journos that City won't try to sign him... It seems planned.
