twitter06:05: Catalan "Sport" claims: Barcelona is ready for a "compromise" that may prevent the parties from going to court. It is estimated that Barça will be willing to sell Messi for a little over 222 million euros - the amount Neymar was sold to Paris Saint-Germain in the most expensive transfer in history. As you may recall, Messi's original release clause from Barcelona stands at 700 million euros.
06:00: Radio Catalonia reveals the extent of the rift between Messi and Bartomeu: According to estimates, the flea has led a real war against the president in the last month, and firmly informed him that the players are refusing to cut their salaries once again due to new club demands. "He said that Bartholomew had betrayed them so many times that there was no longer room for discussion or negotiation," it read.
05:55: Barcelona players believe that Messi's decision to leave is final, and that there is no going back - even if Bartomeu resigns. According to the TV show "El Cheringito", "Barça players are confident that leaving Messi is just the beginning before greater chaos". Paulo Suarez, Luis Suarez's brother, even hinted at this when he tweeted: "It's good, but it's going to be even better."
05:50: Catalonia Radio claims that Bartomeu and senior players in Barcelona were updated on Messi's decision a few days ago. The president even corresponded with the flea in text messages in recent days and tried to get him back, but without success.
05:40: Joseph Maria Bartomeu clarifies: I have no intention of resigning. The president claims he will stick to his plan to continue in office until the election, even though some board members are considering a no-confidence vote against him.
05:35: Journalist Marcelo Bechler, who signed the scoop of Neymar's departure for PSG and who first published Messi's desire to leave Barcelona immediately, claims that Messi chose Manchester City as the next team he will play for. In recent days, Flea has been in talks with Pep Guardiola, who have helped him convince him he wants to join the English runners-up.
00:20: According to "Radio Catalonia", Messi called Pep Guardiola a few days ago and groped with him regarding his arrival in Manchester City. The report added that Flea is looking for a "winning project" in which he will be able to fight for every possible title in his first season.
00:16: In some media in Argentina and Spain, it is claimed that following the events of the last few hours, President Bartomeu is indeed considering resigning.
Spanish newspapers, this morning
twittertwitter00:01: According to estimates, Messi earns 99.6 million euros in Barcelona per season, or 47.8 million euros after tax. According to Sport, the two leading candidates currently in the race are Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United, due to their strong economic base. The "S" claims that only from an economic point of view, the logical goal is actually an Italian club, because in Italy the tax on foreign players is slightly lower, which allows footballers to earn more.
23:45: Journalist Albero Montero estimates Manchester City are the best option for Flea, "both because of the money, both because of the Premier League and because of Pep Guardiola. All in all a good situation for Leo. We know the collaboration between Messi and Pep was amazing "Maybe the best team ever. I think there is a very good chance he will come, and I think City are the favorites."
23:14: Former Barcelona president Juan Laporta believes there is only one way to save the situation: the resignation of current president Joseph Maria Bartomeu. "Bartomeu and his men must resign immediately," he tweeted. "They are undermining Messi's condition. They will resign. Maybe there will still be hope that Messi will stay in our house."
23:06: In Spain, they analyzed why Messi contacted Barcelona in an official letter, and did not demand a face-to-face departure or a phone call. The reason: this will be able to prove legally that he wanted to leave on a certain date - according to reports, on August 20, three days before the end of the Champions season. Barcelona, on the other hand, will not be able to claim that they did not receive the letter, and perhaps in such a case they will have no choice but to allow the activation of the clause in question, which allows Flea to leave for free every summer at the end of the football season, until 31 May. In the case of the 2019/20 season, Messi's men explained, the season closed only towards the end of August, due to the corona break.
