Yeah, I read in one explosive used too... This can escalate very quickly...

A solution could be Messi stays at Barca and the president leaves.

The thing that I predicted finally happened, rumors about Messi leaving Barcelona made some fans start protesting.
As we all know the figure of Messi is very popular and Messi become legend in Barcelona, it has even been rumored
that Messi will end his football career in Barcelona. So the rumors of a Messi move are not something that Barcelona
fans can accept, I bet Messi won't move from Barcelona.

Now there's no doubt about him looking for a transfer. But the club he's going to is not fixed.

I'm a fan of Messi and going to Manchester City would be a downfall for his fame. He'd not get the attention he needs in premier league under the city as the gameplay there is much different. And I have other favorite teams in Premier league to support for. It would be a better option for him to transfer to PSG or like Ronaldo to any popular Serie A.

There are lot of disagreements and arguments going on and this is making Messi unhappy with the way things are going down at Barcelona. So can't say for sure if he is gonna remain at club. Maybe perhaps things work according to him then?

Right now most of the PL teams are reported to be interested in Messi. Barcelona are in difficult situation just like someone predicted here earlier.

Barcelona has lost the identity the had when Messi was starting his career.
Thus, he is now unhappy with the condition that exists in the club.
Messi has to move to Asia for the rest of his career. He is going to be so popular there get a lot of money from events and sponsorships and will be a legend to this continent as well as he is now on Europe and Latin America already.

I think it’s a ploy by Messi to get a better contract or something, I just don’t think he will leave. Something to consider is he’s 33, he would command huge wages, could he adapt to a new league?

I came across one interesting article that probably answers this question.
The article is not in English so I bring a short translation.
Basically, Messi has been picking players and practically leading the team so far and now Koeman has told him it’s over.
Koeman is known for giving stars ultimatums and thus imposing his authority.
''Barcelona's official motto is "more than a club". Messi was therefore more than that. Koeman told him it was over with these words, Ole said: "The privileges you had are over and I will not be flexible on the matter. You have to think of the team and no one is above it."
After this, the offended Messi requested the termination of the contract.

Wow, this with Messi is getting serious. He's been doing stunts like these for a while now and Bartomeu already resigned but this time it looks a bit different - he seems to have had enough.

There are some rumors (from Honigstein and Ornstein) that Guardiola and Messi don't want another stint together - I really wonder where will he go if he leaves Barcelona. Nobody's talking about Man Utd but considering the lack of clubs in position to pay him, I think they are among favorites if City's not interested.

On the other hand, Balague reports City interest: https://twitter.com/GuillemBalague/status/1298555043436793862.

Well according to on betting he will go to Manchester City.

Keep in mind this means nothing since the odds change in the base in what people are betting. For example, if I bet 500000 BTC in PSG the bookmakers will change the odds to be able to pay the rest.

Messi have done reasonable thing for FCB even when cutting of players wages was introduced by the club and I also dont see anything bad in him leaving the club now.

Speaking of him (Messi) and Guardiola not to have another stint together is not genuine story. Although, Guardiola once make the statement and he never explain the reason behind his action but hes willing to welcome Messi now.

I just don’t see it happening, he will stay at Barcelona I think. I will be very surprised if he comes to the PL. The history is there with Pep but I don’t know, I think it’s unlikely.

With so much on he'd rather stop playing than stay on Barcelona. New rumors are that Messi is likely to join Inter-Milan which in my perspective is a much better team for Messi than Manchester City. PSG would have been another good option. There were even rumors about him joining Chelsea. As a personal fan of Messi, I'd love him play in Serie-A or Ligue1 rather than Premier league.

[Lafu]

Oh i guess this time he will leave and maybe we some kind of team and club  that we dont expect for !
20 years is along time for be in a Club and you dont like it anymore and dont win anything more i would be for sure doing the same.
I think Messi will go for an Italian or France Team . But we will see what happens.

[Darkoth89]

Well according to on betting he will go to Manchester City.

ManCity would make the most sense. Messi would go back go to his mentor Guardiola and City is now certainly ready to pay him a princely salary (+ hand money) after they fell short of their expectations again this season. The sheik could see in Messi the last piece in the puzzle to finally win the Champions League.

Its the thing that he is not getting things inside Barcelona as the way he wanted and its getting worse and worse, I mean the players and so. I also smell that he doesn't likes the list of players Koeman is trying to off-load from Barcelona which could be one. Don't know the exact thing going behind but as long as the things are not getting right in order as Messi wanted , its only one thing- "Messi wants to leave".

[tokeweed]

I don't think it's about getting a better contract or him not getting his way...  He was there at Barca since he was a kid ffs.  It's waaay over due that he got sick of the place and go out there and play somewhere else.

Edit:  And he gave everythng to the club.  Barca should just do the honorable thing and let him go.

Couldn't agree more. If Barca drags Messi to the court after all he did for them, it will not end well. They should do some gentlemen agreement with Messi and let him for free or maybe they can agree that he can go for 50-100M which shouldn't be an obstacle for City or PSG. I believe that he would also like to get his favorite club a little bit of extra money even if he doesn't want to play there anymore.

That response from Barca on his decision to leave if true was very stupid. If they make an enemy of Messi that can only lead to another failed season for both of them.

[tokeweed]

^  Where do you think he's going?  I've been hearing City...  But dunno if I should be excited about it or scared tbh.  Lol.  I mean sure I'd love to see him play at the EPL but being a City fan, I fear the 'bla bla bla money club bla bla bought title bla'.

But at the same time it was really coming to this with Ferran Soriano and Txiki going to City..  then Pep.  You just kinda knew there was a chance for Messi...  We'll see.

Juventus is very close to McKennie Froms Schalke 3m loan 2020 and 18m in 2021.
