Two options from here. If the €700m buy out clause is not applicable for the 20/21 season (as per @siquerodriguez), Leo can insist in going for free (but would prefer to negotiate something). Or…

Barcelona insists that the €700m euros buy out clause remains, that the contract in place is exactly the same as last season. With the same condicions, the same buy out clause. No clause changes that. And the president will not seat with Messi unless it is to renew his contract

So he is not at war with the club, he is simply not a FCB player anymore after using his rights as mentioned in his contract. But would still like a friendly exit agreement

Bartomeu would be willing to seat down with Jorge Messi next week but only to renew Leo’s contract

Another THREAD on the #Messigate

Messi hasnt gone to the PCR tests this morning. As he said in his recorded delivery of the 25th Aug, he isnt a FCB player anymore. He wont go to training tomorrow. In his eyes, and legally, he thinks he is in the right and a FREE PLAYER right now

His dad is not in Manchester, will arrive from Rosario to Barcelona at the end of the week

On Sunday Messi will have to do PCR test at the club and training starts on Monday. It is expected he will be present but still determined to leave

Nobody would be able to pay a big transfer fee. So City would consider swapping players.

His wages (€50m+ a year) will be cut if he comes to City (or anywhere else)

City considering to offer a two year deal, with the possibility for him of rescinding after one

A bit of a thread about the Messi situation:#FCB have not said yet he is for sale. That affects everything. Inter keeping a eye on things. In Paris they say PSG not interested; in Qatar, that they are. City still at the forefront though pic.twitter.com/rbS78HrzIK
