Lionel Messi can leave Barca on a free this summer

[Davie Weir]

Lionel Messi will be allowed to leave Barcelona on a free transfer next summer, should the 32-year-old Argentina forward desire, owing to a clause in his contract. (El Pais, via L'Equipe)

3...2...1....

 

[Bothwell Street Bear]

Get the EBT’s out the cupboard.

 

[Danger Zone]

He should jump at it. Their current owners have effectively wasted his remaining prime years shelling out money for overrated shite and ignoring their weaknesses. I’ve never seen more of a one man team in all my time watching club football.

Imagine Lionel Messi wasting his prime playing under a bang average manager like Valverde.

 

[Corporal Clegg]

Maybe we could offer him a chance to be a club legend before he retires?

 

[GF7]

Bit of a risky signing for us, not sure he can hack it up here

32 as well, where's the sell on value?

 

[Gringo]

He always had a desire to play with his boyhood club in Argentina did he not?

All academic in any case, he will stay with Barca.

 

[Mr Mojo risin']

aw naw hes going to sellic isnt he...?

 

[RFC_Falkirk]

Heading to china or the middle East for a big money move?

 

[Teddyjohn]

He had the same clause to leave this summer and he never.

Messi will retire at Barcelona.

Rangers are hoping to sign Argentinian prodigy Leo Messi on loan from Barcelona.

No need for a player like him he already is on Big Big Bucks

 

[Teddyjohn]

Heading to china or the middle East for a big money move?

He earns around €100m a season from salary, bonuses and sponsors already and has done for quite some time. He doesn’t need a big money move.

 

[bmac800]

Juventus maybe , imagine him and Ronaldo in the same team.

 

[Morelos20]

No chance he'll leave, hear the same pish every few summers.

Another wage increase and 5 year deal will be the likeliest outcome.

That was just last week. In the end Gerrard opted for Kent, lower risk since we’ve actually seen what he can do in a Rangers shirt.

Not unless Spanish tax authorities go after him (again)

that most certainly will be a headline in the not too distant future,we know the level of sports journalism in this country, no doubt he will desperate o play at his favourite ground blah blah blah, guidi most probably be the first to run with this

 

[Thommo2006]

Heading to china or the middle East for a big money move?

When you take into account sponsorship he's on about a million quid a week. How much money does he need?

 

[Diego Maradona]

I have a large collection of butt-plugs

 

[Peter_OHanrahahanrahan]

Not sure he could perform on a wet Wednesday night in Dingwall, to be honest.

 

[Tony75tfc]

He will go back to argentina think he always said he wants to go back there ,was it newells old boys

 

[Davie51]

Another panic buy

 

[Clicker]

Waiting on the first deluded Declan to mention this to me.

He said previously he wanted to finish his career at Newell’s Old Boys in Rosario, but he seems to have a strained relationship with the old country.

 

[prenzlauerbear]

OP is misleading. The clause only allows him to leave for clubs outside Europe - i.e. Newell's

 

[BrooklynBlue]

He always talked of returning to Argentina and playing with Newell's Old Boys. Will be interesting to see if he does it given he'll still have a few years left of his career.

 

[GF7]

Does he not have a suspended jail sentence in Spain?

I tend to agree but I would love to see him play in Argentina (probably Newell's) for a season. He has never played in the domestic league so it would be great for the fans, the league and the country for this to happen.

 

[DC23]

Would love to see him play in the premier league

Liverpool would be a good move for him. They should cash in on Salah and take him instead.

 

[BeakerB]

Too wee

 

[bilkobear]

Too wee

Yeah, far too small to make it in football.
He would never survive a Tuesday night in Dingwall.

 

[WinkieWATP]

Heading to china or the middle East for a big money move?

He already earns £1.7m a week

[Lomoon17]

No doubt the tramps PR will be telling the unwashed that they are in negotiations to bring him to the piggery if their season tickets take a dip after 55.

 

[BL11]

Over to you Mr King

 

[Woodrow Call]

He will go back to argentina think he always said he wants to go back there ,was it newells old boys

N.a. I reckon he's a home bird and his home is Barcelona. The Argentine press call him the Catalan.

 

[The DazzleGer]

The word is Kelty Hearts .

 

[hammer17]

Ideal move would be to Bayern, free flowing football in a league where most teams come out and attack

it would suit him to a tee

 

[Art Corvelay]

He already earns £1.7m a week

How do you think he'll get on under Lennon?

 

[RR83]

How many wide players do we need FFS?

 

[Northampton Lodger]

might relish the chance to play on Astro turf given that he has spent his career playing on soft grass.

 

[TN8]

He wont want to leave. Non story then.

Could be a selling point. Definitely worth a punt

Right Stevie get him on the blower.
