Lionel Messi hands in Barcelona transfer request The Argentina international, 33, sent a fax to the club on Tuesday saying he wishes to exercise a clause in his contract, allowing him to leave for free with immediate effect. Barcelona, though, believe the clause has now expired and Messi is contracted to the club until 2021 with a 700m euro buy-out clause. Ouch. Looks like it's going to get Messi (see what I did there ...) https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/53911105
Gone for City. I reckon Messi wants to be reunited with Pep and try his hand in the PL. They'll probs sign him on a 1 year deal at £600k per week
Serie A would be the wise choice but he'll probably end up at PSG and fck up the rest of his career. I'd love to see him at Juve.
Messi probs saw that fat chugger Koeman come in and thought **** that. He'll want a final swansong with Pep before his career fades. Suarez out too apparently.
only one club makes sense, see avatar If he goes elsewhere he's nothing more than a no mark useless donkey **** faced ****. and that's that. good luck to him tho
What’s he going to prove by joining City? They usually sweep up on the domestic front anyway. I don’t think he is the missing link to their European dreams. He just got walloped 8-2 with a team full of serial winners, he wont help City or Pep get over their quarter final weak mind...he’s not a one man band anymore. He should join a club like Spurs, ready to move onto the next level but missing a few key components. Then he will prove that he still has the magic. Wages shouldn’t be his priority, 200k a week should keep him sweet. I voted for Woking
I think a reason to go to City would be Pep and his backroom staff who he is very familiar with, not to mention they're one of the few clubs who can easily match his wage demands. I think City and United will both be in for him, wonder if Ole can entice the fella. In England tho I do think City are the number one contenders.
