He'll be off to America for sure.

Wages are terrible there.

If Kane moves to City, Spurs will be able to afford his wages for an entire year and who wouldn't want to work with Nuno?

Is this the start of the wilderness years for Barca?

They must be absolutely desperate for the super league now.

You can tell it’s big news, Kaveh and Dhamesh are putting an extra second in between words.

Times reporting he isnt going to City.

PSG for me

Stumble Bum · 5 Aug 2021 at 19:19

What a greedy little ****. As if he doesn't have enough money already.

Martini1991 · 5 Aug 2021 at 19:19

LOL BARCA.

Haven't some of their players agreed to a 70% wage cut? Not many people in any industry or job will accept that kind of wage deduction.

Kenai · 5 Aug 2021 at 19:23

In all seriousness, I can't see anywhere in Europe other than PSG actually being bonkers enough to pony up the amount of wages he's going to want

MLS pay peanuts in comparison but would he really want to go to China?

Bizarre situation.

edit - lol from BBC

Here's a line from Guillem Balague that is of interested...

"To be able to keep Messi, Barca would have to reduce their wage bill by around 200m euros (£172m) and to meet La Liga's Financial Fair Play requirements."

£172m!

That's £3 and bit MILLION PER WEEK.

No wonder they were so desperate to form a new league :cry:

Will be infuriating if he goes to PSG. What’s the point?

If Citys is the only club that can afford his wages hopefully he goes there. Be fun to see if he really can score against Brighton and West Ham.

Sky seem to think this is Barca challenging La Liga to change its rules or lose the leagues best player.

If la liga bowed to the demands of a club just to keep a player, that would be disastrous for Spanish football

The_One · 5 Aug 2021 at 19:26

he'll go to psg

Until he actually signs for someone else this is all just posturing and applying pressure.

La Liga is already ****ed. If you've not seen already, La Liga are trying to agree a private equity deal that will raise around £2.5bn in exchange for 11% of tv and commercial revenue for the next 50 years! That's a horrendous deal for the League but it shows you just how desperate they are.

Come on Roman, get your bank card out. Get Messi to the champions of Europe where he belongs.

adam cool dude · 5 Aug 2021 at 19:45

I would love to see Messi in the prem just to see if he can do it on a wet night in Stoke City.
