Same here, Madridista hasta la muerte (though the fact that he is argentinian always conflicted me a bit hah). But an absolute genius. 2nd best player of all times.

Considering that Real open the door for Ramos, Varane and still theres no new players... Atletico might be in front of an historical opportunity for a doblete.

He's probably the best player ever so where he goes, I follow.

Some outlets claim, Barca is still in talks with fat fuck tebas. Messi is, was pretty much the only reason to follow La Liga.

I do find it funny those expecting Messi to play for free because he loves the club. Why should Messi even be in this situation?
It wasn't Messi who spent over a billion dollars on useless flops and their wages, financially ruining the club. He shouldn't have to be the one to make sacrifices when he is the primary reason Barcelona is still a competitive team.
Imagine being the primary driver of revenue and footballing success, and yet being the only person at the club making a personal financial sacrifice. It'd be insane.

Saw that. That's his most likely destination.
Although, I'm not sure how PSG could afford his wages and still keep within FFP rules. Yes, he'd be a free transfer like the majority of their signings this summer, but the wages for these players are astronomical on top of a wage budget that was already over 200 million euros last year.

Time to test his skills in the toughest league in the world - the EPL.

Can you blame him? He's the best player in the world (sorry Ronny fans) and only those two clubs can even pay him.

No club in MLS is paying him 60m a year.

I don’t know anything about soccer, but sounds like a Messi situation for Barcelona without their best player.

Soccer has always been silly. I don't understand the fascination with it.
I am so pissed about this I'll vent in Spanish and then make a summary in English:
Que club de mierda que es el Barcelona por dios!!! Un partido politico antes que un club de futbol. Con Messi teniendo DNI catalan u holandes esto no pasaba. Hubiesen logrado bajar la masa salarial si le bajaban el sueldo al fiambre Pique, la momia Busquets o el troncazo de Sergi Roberto. Por culpa de ellos Messi no gano una Champions mas. Los ultimos años tiro del carro como nadie. Sobre todo en 2018/2019 donde estaban practicamente en la final, defendiendo UN POQUITO en Anfield pasaban.
Ahora van a volver a ser lo que fueron antes de Ronaldinho y Messi: el punching ball del Madrid. Maradona, Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Laudrup, Figo y a esa gran lista de talentosos que se van por la puerta de atras sumenle a Messi. Teniendo 13 copas de Europa te podes dar ese lujo, pero al Barcelona le falta muchisimo. Gracias a Messi son mas que el Nottingham Forest en Europa.
Ojala le vaya bien en el PSG y llegue entonado al mundial que es lo que mas le importa.
I'm basically pissed off about the Barcelona's front office and ranting about how Messi wasted some of his PRIME years on that club, no happy endings on that club unless you have a Catalan or Dutch ID. It is what it is.

I think everyone here is very curious to know what your hobbies are lol.

I play some videogames. I like to ride my bicycle. But I would say my main hobby is the romantic pursuit of the ladies.
Seriously though, the way people get into sports teams is just strange to me. I don't quite get it. When I was younger I used to like the Cubs (an American baseball team) but then the MLB went on strike and I've never really been able to get into sports since then.

Well just to put this in perspective, basically Messi is mathematically the most special human being alive right now, in terms of the fact that he's the best of the all time in the most engaged with activity/profession in the world.
So it is a very significant event when he is forced to leave a club which he has been at since he's a child, because of incompetent book keeping and mismanagement.

PSG are locks to sign him, especially now that financial fair play is no longer a “thing”. Apparently the negotiations are already done and an announcement is in the wings.
