City sign Grealish for £100M, Messi leaves Barca on a free

I can hear Pep swearing all the way in Ireland.

Not the end for Messi?
Spanish football expert Andy West told BBC Sport: Stop writing the obituaries, shelve those plans for a grand farewell...as dramatic as it seems, Barça's announcement does NOT definitely mean that Lionel Messi is leaving. Not yet, anyway.

In fact, rather than being a final and definitive statement it is actually a very risky tactical move in the club's powerplay with La Liga, whose salary cap regulations are preventing Messi and Barça from signing the new contract the club claims they have both agreed.

Perhaps we may see Lionel Messi in a Barcelona shirt again after all..

Who cares as well, let’s be honest he’s past his best and Barca aren’t a threat on a European level. Messi staying won’t change that.
