Would love to see a club like Hearts, Dundee or Hibernian got bought instead and challenging the Old Firm dominance. That would be more entertaining

I'm out of the loop on this. What happened?
Espn Argentina now saying that Barca(actually LaLiga) made him an offer to stay.
It would be funny as hell for his PR stunt to have worked.

Absolutely
This would be hilarious if it happened.
Lukaku —> Chelsea
Icardi —> Inter
Now Barcelona is offering him a new contract 
hope he stays away from that club. They are toying with him.

@Pocho Surely it’s too late for a u-turn after that presser..
The registration issue still exists for Messi and the rest of the new players. Still surprised that la liga dont somehow make an exception for the greatest player of his generation and one of the all time greats.Now Barcelona is offering him a new contract

Icardi pretty much burned bridges at Inter, didn't he?
Maybe not official after all? La Porteria (usually reliable) on Twitter saying there is a new offer from Barcelona, but then again Fabrizio not mentioning anything about it.
If he ends up staying in Barcelona, I have a feeling Riola might regret PP posting the tweet about being ready for a new season with us!
Not allowed to post media yet, hence no links.

I hope so
Press still saying United may attempt to go in for him.
Not sure we actually need him.
Rather A younger more reliable solid midfielder which we are still missing.

Conflicting reports because some Catalan sources are denying that an offer was made. Almost everyone agrees that Messi and Jorge Messi are studying the terms of the PSG offer before signing, and won't be flying until every i is dotted and every t is crossed.
Barcelona need to cut another €130m before they can even register any of their new signings. How could they offer Messi anything other than playing for free?
PSG will be an easy life for Messi, can coast through 80% of games and will get paid loads. If he actually wants a challenge he should look elsewhere though.

Being tested each week is key to a player keeping sharp as he gets older. This move could age Messi quicker than any other.
Plus PSG just inherited Barca’s problem of Messi not running in CL games. Everybody thinking this is the key for CL success are going to be in for a shock
I'd take him in an instant. If only to watch a Barca supporting, United-hating Liverpool-leaning friend's head explode.
Yeah, especially given the lack of work rate from PSG's attack was influential to their exit from the CL against City.
Messi has officially signed for PSG.
You have to love fans determining what exactly counts as a valid challenge for a player.
That's his legacy done.
At least you are not being too dramatic.
Ronniecaf really is somethingAt least you are not being too dramatic.
Bait. Hooked.
Neymar to PSG
Messi to PSG
PSG is Barca fans' nightmare

Will be good fun watching PSG this season though.
Poch trying to placate all those egos... Team will be pretty much unmanageable.
Expect some huge wins and also huge defeats.

Should give back all his Ballon D'ors
Yeah Ramos, Neymar, & Messi all in the same dressing room, one thing you can say is that they have got one hell of a spine to that team and done some sensational business this window even though there is crazy wages involved
Apparently De Jong is on his way out as well according to Talk Sport.
Don't give me hope
Romano named drop a few for sale in his interview with goldbridge the other day. Although the list wasn't comprehensive he mentioned Coutinho, Umtiti and Pjanic.
Now that is one deal we would definitely need to be all over IF he was really available, agent Donny
The same agent Donny who didn't get a sniff all of last season and would definitely be phased out entirely if we signed De Jong?
Right when Luckhurst said we prioritized a midfielder for the next signing.
He can’t play for free. La liga rules state you must receive at least 50% of your last contract
The whole thing is bizarre, seems like both club and Messi wanted to part ways.
BasicallyThe same agent Donny who didn't get a sniff all of last season and would definitely be phased out entirely if we signed De Jong?
3 past their best. Nobody wants them for chunky fees
Call me nuts but just got this feeling we are going to see a different player this season, clearly he has been working on bulking himself up during the pre-season because feels that's the way to go in this leagueThe same agent Donny who didn't get a sniff all of last season and would definitely be phased out entirely if we signed De Jong?
