Possibly one of the Milan’s but he’ll want to ensure he keeps winning like Ronaldo has done with Juventus and that’s less likely there. 1 hour ago, copa-mundial said: Man City I reckon. They can afford his salary. They're chasing champions league glory. Messi won't have to learn English. This would be a key factor I think. Both totally detached from unreality.

Cruyff Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 The richest European Clubs like Man City and PSG would probably break FFP rules if they bought him and end up banned from Europe. They are probably the only ones bar Real Madrid that can afford him and he would never go to Madrid. I don't know if Inter, Roma, Napoli or AC Milan have the money to buy him but if they did I think he'd fancy one of them. Personally don't think he'd go to the EPL and if he can escape his contract, I think he'll go back to Argentina. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NANOJAMBO Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 6 hours ago, AlimOzturk said: Apparently activated clause to leave Barcelona on a free transfer. Can only see one club able to afford his wages and having the manager there to make him want to sign and that is Manchester City. Barca saying the contract clause expired 6 months ago but Messi's agent insisting they honour it because of Covid crisis. Allegedly, on Twitter.

Hagar the Horrible Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Lets face it Spain is Scotland on acid, there is only a duopoly with their clubs able to raise more debt than africa. Going to the EPL would be a challenge for him, there is just multiple clubs to play against of a higher standard. France is now a 1 horse town, Italy is corrupt. I think he will want to play for a bit in the best league in the world. But if he want to play for the best club in the world in the worst league, come to us, do a Cruyff and play for Dumbarton, well he would have when he realised the actual stadium(Boghead) was not their training facility, that was just it!

Fraggle Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 (edited) Messi is on a downward trajectory as a world class player. Don't think he will last as long as Ronaldo "at the top". This transfer request is all smoke and mirrors, politics at play. He's trying to get the current President ousted and one of his favoured guys in. He has far too much power at Barca and wants them to rebuild the way he wants it, but the club doesn't have the money. He will still be there come the new season.

The Internet Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Tbf we've been hearing Messi is on the way down for about 5 years. Eventually, at 33, he might be.
