Peppysco:


I swear, always mixing business with emotions.
You don't make so much from the club and hang them out to dry with nothing, no, ooo wrong nau.
Moreover, they guy's contract runs till the summer of 2021 and he's asking to leave for free now, who go green that one? If he's not going to help them recoop some money from the transfer fees, the most honourable thing is to at least see out your contact, then, it becomes a win - win situation for both parties

No mind Dem. They are crying more than Argentine n Spanish fans of Messi.
Always sympathetic n not sharing empathy

FLYFIRE:

Tell me a club Bacca has not massacre before. ML10 says he wants to go but the club REFUSES. Look for an interpreter if its difficult for you to comprehend

It's very obvious that you as his/their fan is yet to get over it..Sowie eh

YoungAncient1:
Barcelona created a monster that is about to consume them. They allowed Messi become too powerful. They put men to the sword just to keep him happy and kept on re-negotiating his contract whenever he was unhappy. Now, he has become a *principality* and now they don't know how to handle him.

you v brain more than all the Barca fans here.

obembet:
Barcelona have straight up refused to meet with star man Lionel Messi to discuss the terms of an exit, but will only come face-to-face with the club legend in order to arrange a new contract.

Messi has officially informed Barca via burofax that he wishes to exercise a clause which enables him to walk away for free at the end of a season, though Barca rigidly state that a deadline to do so has long since passed.

And now Barca chiefs are so steadfast in their position that they will not meet with Messi and his agent for anything other than his recommitting to the Nou Camp, as report El Periodico in Spain.

The only possible meeting, say Barca sources, would be to extend the contract that currently binds Messi with the club until 2021.

It is reported that Barca and Messi started to talk about this in June, as football started to return from the postponement caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

Upon the return of action however, Barca embarked on a miserable run which saw them slump in the La Liga season and hand the title over to rivals Real Madrid.

eprieve in the Champions League after beating Napoli to book a place in the one-legged semi-final against Bayern Munich in Lisbon, only to be utterly humiliated by an 8-2 defeat.

Messi was seen looking distraught at the final whistle and later sat alone in the dressing room, before later coming to the decision that he wanted out of the club.

President Josep Bartomeu has already played his hand in the saga, by stating he is willing to step aside should Messi make this desire clear.

This 'movement of Bartomeu that does not convince Messi at all' according to Spanish reports, with the Argentine still hopeful of engineering a move to reunite with Pep Guardiola at Manchester City.

Barca maintain Messi still remains bound by his buy-out clause, which stands at as astronomical £625million (€700m).

paulolee:

very ungrateful sets of people, they should jus know that the world is watching and i fear if messi finally leaves barca very angry or if he leaves with a bad mood...they should jus allow him go and be happy, i dnt see any reason for the board trying to destroy the loyalty and legacy dt messi created with barca..
messi have been in barca all tru his best years and even turned down massive deals to move especially when city and PSG came with huge deals...this barca board are ingrates

Barca knows with out Messi they are finished simple.

They just want to finish this guy career for Barcelona, what is the meaning!!

At gun point

They were never going to allow him to leave on friendly terms.

He will leave anyway.

Evans2019:
Na by force to sign new contract, let the man go joor. Are they saying they can’t do without Messi ? Instead of them to be scouting for young talented footballers they are worried about a guy who has less than 5 years to play in football, Mumu Barcelona

Well, they are no different from Nigerian structure... there is no replacement because the system that discovered people like Messi, Iniesta and co have long been abandoned because of laziness and greed.

Now, they are shocked that their mistake and foolishness is about to disgrace them...

Messi is the most ungrateful & chicken brain footballer of the 21st century. He has talent but he's greedy.
You this fan, are you aware Barca has been paying the midget the highest wages for a footballer over the past four years?
Are you aware if Barca let him go freely this season, it's a bad decision cos Messi's contract holds till 2021.
Why can't you advise your ewure to stay till end of his contract & show Barca how useless they are without him or he should call their bluff now & face a lawsuit he ll never recover from. He's a man who uses his silence to gain sympathy of people like you while tarnishing images of others. He's a devlish coward

you type all this shit without any tangible meaning. Smh

Messi's playing the silence game to blackmail Barca. That's how he always do to make people believe he's a saint.
Barcelona is saving Messi's image by not coming out publicly to reveal the full details of Messi's contract. The day they talk, Messi ll be hated by every naive Barca fans who thinks Messi is being witch hunted.
Does he think they can't win cups again?

xThe logical explanation.
1. Messi should respect the club n see out his contract. He's seen as a gentle lamb. Dies he think Barca can't win cups anymore? Where's his lotalty & helping out Barca in crisis

2. No matter what's the crime of Bartomeau, he has ran Barca with his best abilities. He even. Offered Messi at his age huge contract that warranted that huge buyout clause. Messi enjoyed the wages when he's paid. He should not be an ungrateful son. Nobody is hating him at Barcelona so why start something that ll cause hate to him from fans very soon. He's now acting disloyal for not returning to training.

3. If it's CR7 that acted this way, his criticism ll v topped all major newspapers worldwide.
Most people ll say he's proud, he's bad, he's a cheat etc. Now it's Messi that acting immature here and like an over pampered boy.

Lmao. Barcelona fans are pained.

Ronaldo acted similarly in 2018 and Madrid sold him off same month without this public desperation like Barcelona is doing now. Same month, Madrid bought Mariano to wear the No 7 Jersey. Just to prove that the Club is always bigger than a single player.

Barcelona should let Messi leave to a team of his choice, then get a replacement player just to spite him. A club is always bigger than a player. Messi shouldn't be different.

One jobless fool has been spamming all threads related to Messi with his gibberish talk...

d deadline expired because of the covid break and dts no human factor, d deadline also means dt he can move at the end of the season b4 his last season..
which additional cost and implications worth more than making the club legend happy after all he had done for the club??

There are some sponsorship and advertisement contracts the club probably got because of Messi's presence in the Barca squad.

His leaving will probably void those contracts which will also change the negotiation dynamics for other potential advertisement deals...this is the cost implication the club is trying to avoid.

Barcelona always ungrateful they behave like Tottenham when their key players want to go, some people still expect to see Neymar again in Barcelona but the truth is that Neymar can never return back to Barcelona due to how the club treated him when he was forcing for exit despite his past sacrifices.

Tottenham Hotspurs in the other hand their key player must fight and stop training to force him self out of the club, i don't know if they expect their pointman to sign life contract with the club,
I like Manchester United because the always act maturely, they believed that no player is bigger than the club if any player really want to quite the club they will never stand on his way, instead the work on contract clauses so that the transfer will be smooth, i had never seen any player battling to quite a club like manUtd before.

Can someone explain to me the fault of the club management. Was messi not in the team that lost 8-2?

He played and they lost. Same for the lali ga.

For me, I think the club management has right to be pissed because the pay messi to play and win matches . He didn't meet his own end of the deal.

The management could even issue a pay cut across board.

I just don't get it.

If Mercy had single-handed equalized the goals. It would have been different.

This Barca board should stop all this nonsense and let the young man go, he has done all what is required of him at the club...

OkikiOluwa1:
Shey he was starving for those 19 years ni? Was he not being paid.
I know what he wanted to go n do.
He said he want to win the next two ballon dors & it's Guardiola than can help him win it.
He want Guardiola to be coach of PSG or if Neymar can move to Manchester City.
Shey he watched Barca's destiny on babalawo satellite and they said Barca can't be great again or he can't win ballon dor n trophies there? That boy no even know how to win world cup with Argentina. Maradona ll just be looking at him like mumu now.

Messi's suffering from spiritual attack. He now has menstrual pains

Guy abeg no kill me with laugh

gentle136:

What do you mean by ungrateful?

Is messi playing for free?
Did messi not agree to the terms of the contract?

He should head to court.

drezo:
Leave all these nonsense talk and make money here... No time.

They will loose sponsorship, shirt sales, have fan resentment and infighting, etc, during a Pandemic season.

Barca were never going to let him go and if they do, it would be a very bitter departure. They will sponsor publications in the press against him, etc.

EmptyGarden:
This too will end the usual way... New and improved contract. That wimp is too scared to leave Barca.

Who doesn't love Barca?

Why? Messi should sue them for deprivation of rights or he keeps calm and walks away at the end of his contract

There is s knothing in his contract that says he must win all matches. Is he the 11 team member on pitch. Abi all the matches and accolades he has given them is what?Everyone was paid to do their job.

that's football business for you, it can be played dirty. it cost Ronaldo his Ballon d'or title just because he left Madrid. after an amazing season by him.
