New step in #Messicase

@elperiodico says that Messi has asked for a meeting with the club with the intention to reach a friendly agreement and a way out. As soon as possible so the situation does not get any worse.

Story confirmed by my sources. Ball back to FCB court

#FCB briefing that they can meet Messi but not to negotiate his departure. His exit costs, they say, his buy out clause, ?700m

Leo Messi still wants to leave and wants to do it in a good way if possible. Barcelona insists he is not for sale (or can go for the ?700m of his buy out clause). There is NO change of strategy from Leo’s part

24 hours after Messi asked for a meeting, the club has not responded one way or another Messi does not want to leave in bad terms for respect to the club and the fans

Many people focus on the burofax (it’s just a recorded delivery) BUT from the moment he decided to stop negotiations for renewal around March, club was told few times that Messi wanted to go

“Let’s look for a way out of Leo”, was the message sent to Bartomeu in April, in June, in July, in August. The club never believed that was a real possibility. NO change of strategy on Leo’s part since then. The change would be if he decided to go to war with the club

The burofax is just a logical legal step when you have decided to go. The petition of a meeting to exit in a friendly way is also a next logical step. At the moment, with no response from the club

Important point. Both sides are ABSOLUTELY convinced that the clause of 10th of June gives them the right to defend their position. Messi thinks he can go for free. Barcelona that he has a contract till next season

City insists they will not let go any of their regulars. Angeliño or Eric Garcia could be part of a deal as no club is able to pay a transfer fee of ?100m + plus his wages (they would be reduced anyway in his next club)

@sport
has published today that FCB does not accept swap of players, they do not want anyone from City, they do not want to sell and would only meet to renew his contract, not to negotiate a way out

All that makes the resolution impossible to predict. But if we are talking percentages City still CLEARLY in the front seat, but PSG (have been in touch this moring again) or... (wait for the surprise!)

Juve (they are trying the VERY unlikely possibility of having Messi and Ronaldo together with very daring finances and sponsorships!) have gone up. Inter still up for it but numbers do not add up

Btw, I asked Messi once if he’d heard people in England wonder (in a witty way) if he could make it on a wet cold Wednesday night in Stoke. He told me straight away: “they should see the pitches and places I used to play in Rosario!”. It means he think he can do it in Stoke

A new extraordinary twist. As told by @ellarguero, the ?700m buy out clause DOES NOT exist in last season's contract (and the club had not realised?).

Messi won't go to squad's PCR test tomorrow Sunday as going would go against his interpretation of contract -that he is free

Lionel Messi has failed to report for coronavirus testing at Barcelona's training complex as he continues his battle to leave the club.

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

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

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

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...

... secondly if Barcelona does not want to talk, then he could tore up the contract and accept the club would could take him to court for unlawful breach of contract. If that is the case, the judge could award a penalty much lower than the ?700m, perhaps two figures

FIFA meanwhile would give the international transfer clearance for Leo to move to another country and club, and play straight away. The question is, would City, PSG, Juve, Inter risk the potential of a penalty much higher than that?

It could be millions but two figures, so likely much less than ?100, which they could all afford and that means they would all be back with a chance to get him (City still at the forefront), but in court, strang things have happened. It is a delicate step for any club

Messi’s lawyers are surprised club might not be aware of end of buy out clause. FCB renewed Leo’s contract for 3+1 years, and the +1 was an exceptional agreement by which Messi could leave with no compensation, like Xavi and Iniesta did

Few minutes after Jorge Messi told Bartomeu yesterday that Leo wasnt going to PCR test as he is not a FCB player anymore, the conversation was leaked to Catalan media. That and other actions from the club making Messi even more convinced he has taken the right step

Official statement by La Liga. They side with Barcelona in Leo Messi contract battle: “Current deal is still valid and paying release clause for ?700m is the only way out”. Stop sign

Manchester City are still waiting for Barça decision.

Messi also after La Liga statement is not going to chance his mind. He wants to leave and to start a new chapter. Barcelona told him again they won’t let Leo go for free to Manchester City - and La Liga position is part of their strategy. The saga is on.

愈攪愈大鑊咁⋯⋯⋯



美斯仲留到係巴塞？留低都臉左左啦。

可能最後球迷會由支持美斯變到極度憤怒

今年就算走唔到，佢下季都係會離開架啦

LaLiga says that #FCB are right and Messi's buy out clause should stand and will not give him the permit to sign for another club unless that clause is paid

西班牙總足會唔會出得太多聲呀！明顯得滯喎。

【Now Sports】周日美斯缺陣巴塞季前新冠病毒測試，同日西甲方面發表聲明釐清當中合約細節。

美斯（Lionel Messi）離開魯營似乎勢在必行，問題在於他要付出多少。消息指美斯於2017年所簽署的合約中有一條條款，指出雙方只要在2020年6月前達成共識的話，美斯就可以免費離隊。但美斯的法律團隊稱，因為新冠疫情阻延了球季進程，所以這個條款的有效時間亦應該同時延後。

對此西甲賽會已表明立場：「雙方的合約此時仍在履行當中，而合約內的『終止合約條款』亦生效。根據條款，西甲方面將不會執行終止合約的程序，除非該球員支付所列明的金額，否則我們不會取消他在球員名冊上的登記資料。」

早前有傳美斯拒絕進行新冠病毒測試，無法參與開操，消息已獲得當地傳媒證實。美斯或會因為這舉動而要繳付罰款，亦印證了他與球會的關係陷入低谷。

好睇過戲，繼續食花生
