Because he wanted to go on a free, at least that was the clause he tried to activate. Then his release clause is a lot higher than 100m and it was more of a political thing where he send the burofax and made things public in order to make Bartomeu leave the club.
Lionel Messi’s Obscene Contract
- Thread starter Port Vale Devil
- Start date
Messi always wanted to leave, the burofax was because he genuinely wanted to leave. Barto leaving was just icing on the cake
This thread has become the place where people talk about their expertise in macroeconomics and fitness. And futurology.
It sounds like Barcelona have been taking financial advice from John Delaney.
l foresee the inevitable future leak of how much he is really getting paid.
Messi really should have forced his hand and joined City when he put in his transfer request. He'll retire as more or less a one club man(mls doesnt count) but Barcelona arent going to win the league nor the CL for the remainder of his time there.
bookmarking this my friend, don’t think he’ll win CL but I can see barca winning another league before leaves the club
He wants a CL though doesn't he?
yes, but I think his family is too settled at barca and he’ll just accept it won’t happen anymore
Barcelona will win the league this season.

Very interesting article, from Marca. Messi provides almost 30% of Barcelona's incomes. So no, he's not the one to be pointed for Barca's crises

Contract not actually signed yet. Messi staying on holiday until it can be... could be in for a long holiday.

Just for lolz, it would be amazing that Barcelona cannot pull off the transfer until the deadline, and Messi signs for someone like Inter or Juve

“Messi’s Barca renewal almost impossible”
It's not true though.
Barcelona have players they can sell, they're just refusing to.

I have no idea whats going on anymore, contrary rumors every few hours, for days/weeks.
How did Barcelona become the biggest laughing stock in football? I thought that was going to forever be Spurs.
Imagine what this place would be like if we found ourselves in the state Barca are in.
And rightfully so. They have 2 players they can really sell for a big profit : Pedri and De Jong. Sacrificing one of them for 1 or 2 extra season of Messi would be a terrible choice.
Is it really a coincidence this comes out a day after every La Liga club comes into serious money with the deal yesterday? Guy just doesn’t want to take a pay cut.

Pedrerol has suspended his holidays for this momentous news.
Can someone explain the connection here? I've read a few articles but can't seem to make sense of it.
For me its one of two things.
- Messi is tired of waiting for Barca to sort out their finances.
- Barca think it is impossible to get gn Messi and still meet regulations.
This whole thing is like a drawn out break up. One side needs to be strong and pull the band aid off already.
Love this guy.
Not sure if its
Mes que un Messi
Or
Messi que un club
At this point.

He is so extra
Pedrerol and El Chiringuito TV nonsense is the best thing about Spanish football these days, and I barely understand a word of it!
It's just a mess.
Whos Pederol?
City with Grealish, Kane and Messi will be obscene. Only the masterful footballing mind in Levy and the Arabs at Psg can save football. Strange days.
I remember when Real Madrid were knocked out of the CL that guy announced it like the president of the country died.
"Real Madrid.....eliminado."
I meant the connection to the Super League and new La Liga deal.
The one in the picture. He did a countdown to Messi's contract expiring which GatoLoco posted.
With Barca's fecked finances they really should just let Messi go. The time's going to come soon anyway, he's 34, the decline will start sooner rather than later.
Where he goes will be fun if so. This summer's been one of the more interesting silly seasons with a lot of big names on the move.
