      If he wanted to stay at the club thrn why didn’t he just play for free,? I mean the club have looked after him generously over the years..

      It’s obvious Barca didn’t want the drama surrounding him every year & behind close doors are quite happy with the process despite what they say in public..

      If he loved the club that much then I'm sure he could spare a further cut to his salary. What's he supposed to have us believe? That his existence on this earth depends upon a minimal income of $400,000 every week?

      All theatre and insincerity from all involved.

      In total agreement, if he can swan around in his 100 million yacht (( curtesy of Barcelona )) then he no longer needs a wage. As usual typical greedy footballers, hence why he's off to PSG.

      A few posts up I read there’s a cap or threshold they needed to meet with La Liga even if he did play for free the club is still over they will need to shift more players.

      You couldn't make this sh*t up:

      https://twitter.com/Sport_Witness/status/1424466604033781763

      Basically some Barca fans want to stop Messi's transfer to PSG by arguing it's unfair competition: Barca has to adhere to La Liga's financial rules but PSG does not face the same restrictions in France.


      But on the other hand they're ok with their club living above their means and recruiting players they cannot afford: they're now asking their players to take a pay cut to allow the registration of their new recruits.

      https://twitter.com/Sport_Witness/status/1424364706597376011

      At what point does someone get involved to stop this shitshow???

      Entitled little pricks. Everything that's happened since males May 2019 even more hilarious.

      Sounds like it will be announced today or tomorrow, his dad apparently confirmed he's signing for them.

      Only when they sponser themselves from some Qatar company


      He is being £45mil a year net plus a signing on fee of £25mil


      If Barce couldn’t make enough in sponsering etc to cover his wages there is no way PSG will

      They will break FFP again - pay the fine and move on

      Spain's just become a two horse race.

      No player in their right mind would want to go to that league. The days of your players head being turned by Barca or Real is over.

      We now have PSG, City and United to worry about.

      United are just as big money bags as the rest but the media never mention them. I'm sure they've outspent City.

      Take the rose tints off Heimy. United will never  been in the same league as Chavs/ City/PSG till they get new owners. Our revenue, JUST LIKE YOURS!!!!! Is all fan based and doing things by the book. Something you can't say about the BIG 3.

      Your club made a significant loss with the debt increase yet spending £100mil - what money is that being spent then

      It's PSG & City. That's it.
      Now that PSG is snapping up players on free transfers, therefor the money is not spreading to other clubs,
      then football looks like it'll consume itself.

      Even when Barcelona and City were poaching Liverpool players, at least the money allowed
      strenghtening through investment. PSG using the Italian club mentality of taking them at the end of contract is worrying.
      Just wait it out a year or two and promise the players money other clubs can't afford.

      Unless a cap is brought in, football as we know it is dead.

      Nice to see the PSG owner answering questions in French..

      Considering he's been their president for the past 10 years and how important their language is to the French, it's the least he could do. And to be honest, his French is decent but not exactly impressive.


      Messi just really wanted to play with Gini all along.

      I read a tweet that made me chuckle. Basically, Gini was playing 4D chess and knew all along what he needed to do to play with Messi.
