Good for Messi. I'm glad he's leaving a clearly toxic environment. Makes you stop and wonder about the depth of putridity of the organization when a man who had pledged himself to Barça after they took a flier on him in youth is even ready to turn away now.

FloPe & Co. will gladly accept him.

Also, per his 1-year extension agreement with the club; you could probably make a valid argument that the timeline for the exercising of that "free-leave" clause shifted within the context of the year because of force majeure. It's definitely something to analyze - whether the timing of execution of the clause was based upon the conclusion of the running season, or arbitrarily picked as a date.
 


Legit never thought this day would come, Bartomeu ****** up royally :rollin :rollin :sick: :sick:
 
ESPNFC summarizing more concisely than I:

"The debated clause was included in the last contract signed by Messi, in 2017, and stipulated he could leave for nothing at the end of each season as long as he communicated his decision to Barca before June.

A source at Barcelona has told ESPN they firmly believe that Messi's window to leave for free this year has passed, but other reports say Messi's legal team are arguing the extension of the season altered the expiry date of the clause."
 
The beauty of this is that it won’t drag on for months. Most leagues are starting mid-September so we’ll know where he lands within a few weeks or less.

I have a feeling he made his decision on where he wanted to go before making the big announcement. He knew it needed to be sorted ASAP. Some domestic cups start really soon. DFB pokal begins in 19 days :wow: He probably talked to pep a bunch to make sure they could handle it $$ wise then dropped the bomb
