Messi should decide his own future. Good luck to him and I'll root for him always!

Barca has been kicking the financial can down the road for too long and can't afford him now and stay within La Liga rules.

Yea last President was as corrupt as any politician. Completely f**ked up the finances.

Should have gone to EPL or Serie A. Really no competition in France. I guess it's all about winning Champions league. It still doesn't feel real.

I agree, I read that Man City was a destination that made sense since the team has unlimited amount of money and Messi's history with Pep. It's very disappointing to see Messi in a different uniform.

True. I would have been cool with him going to Dortmund too to get some better competition in Germany too. Not many teams have the deep pockets of Man City and PSG though

I dunno, the Messi tears are a little overdone for me.

He says he wants to stay...so why doesn't he? He just has to take less money. He has the ability to do that.
