Would love it if he forced a move to Real.
I have no love for Real. But it would be hilarious

Just think of the crowd numbers City will generate (when Covid restrictions are lifted) if they sign Messi.
They may finally reach half capacity.

United to announce Messi with ‘You love to see it’
Who knows, otherwise, his team mates wouldn't support him. They wouldn't want him to leave. Probably another power game
Power play to remove Bartomeu. Surely he won’t leave?
RW sorted 
Man can't run but the rest of the team can, and AWB can defend for two. It all works out.

People need to get the idea out of their heads that player’s wives and families are entirely focused on cock-teasing the Caf on their social media accounts.
I can’t believe people think that Messi would come to us.
Was thinking that too. Maybe if president leaves he'll decide to stay.
And there will certainly be a legal battle anyway, it won't go smoothly.
Actually, when you think about it, it's a pretty obvious power play, no?
Barca board will resign and this will die out.

I'm not surprised that some players would resent his decision, especially those that came relatively recently. I imagine its how some Argentina players would've felt had Messi not reversed his decision to retire from International football following his penalty miss.
Can we please get Messi to Inter? If he successfully plays a one-two with Lukaku, I'll gladly call him the greatest of all time

Think he will go to City/PSG if he does leave, would love to get him here.
does resemble the kit a bitI thought Suarez moved to Dortmund from that profile picture
Muppet mode activated.
In all seriousness though, can only see it being City or PSG unless he heads back to South America.

Whats Rio on about ?!
He ain't going anywhere. He's Barca through and through. Within a week the board will be saying 'we are going to heavily invest in the club, bring in new top players and really go and become number 1 again'. 'We'll give you a pay rise and this and that', then he will sign a new contract.
Then the Muppety can end.

So much for it being a power/political play if his teammates, present and former, and elected representatives are wishing their goodbyes...
Messi and Lukaku....
....Messi's agent must have been fielding calls from around Europe!
City or PSG surely.
Wow. Would be great to watch him play for United.
He’s taking the piss on Chelsea and their recent heavy transfer activities. Nothing to see here mate
I would be shocked if Messi moves to another european club. He always said that if he left Barcelona he would go back to Argentina.
My girlfriend has been giving me attitude problems all summer and am really thinking about moving on . Imagine signing Messi, the perfect antidote to bridge the transition period.
I want Sancho in addition though, we can then effectively ditch James, Lingard, Pereira and Mata.

I don't think many (if any) genuinely believe its a possibility.
For a start he wants to go win things, and not trying to bash us, but we're not yet in the position to really challenge.
If Barca do manage to get a decent size fee for him, I’d imagine Barca would most definitely be wanting Sancho.
He should go to Serie A.
He ll leave on a free apparently but they ll save 50m in wages
Does feel a bit rehearsed with all his mates tweeting about it and all.
Being reported that Inter's very rich Chinese owners are going to try to move heaven and earth to make it happen
Glazers should take note...
They already made the unthinkable happen with Tom Brady
It’s on
It can still easily be a power play. I am 99% convinced it is - no way a President survives the GOAT leaving cos he's pissed off with him. The fans and the rest of the board know that without him and so on they are fecked
Political move for sure.
Sancho alternative
Sounds to me that he thinks Chelsea manager Frank Lampard would like to sign Lionel Mess from Barcelona.
Bit Dortmund-esque really
Only way he leaves if if he steps down himself and he's apparently doubling down on not doing that by invoking a threat to take him to court...
Barcelona elections are only in March and the board can't force him out, only elections can do that unless he's in serious legal trouble
PSG could pay him far more than anything the Italians could.
Juve moving for him though....
Can just imagine Ronnie's face- Status
