It was just Laporta dropping one last bomb while leaving Barcelona for his vacay on Ibiza. It's obvious lol

That's just a leak from the Barca board to show that they did everything possible to keep Messi at the club, after Leo said that the club might not have done everything possible to keep him. It is an very obvious approach to clear Ferran Reverter's name after ARA leaked that he is the one...

Wasn't there something like "for every Euro the club saves in salary or receives in transfer fee, 25 cent can be reinvested into the squad"? Emerson costed 9M and the club earned 28,5M through sales. 4*9=36M - 28,5M = 7,5M still to be earned to not further burden the salary cap? Does Messi's...

Willing to bet that Memphis will score more goals than Griezmann (when he stays injury-free and can be registered).

Messi will be a success for them, no doubt about that. However, those dreamteams rarely work out and fulfill their potential. Everybody thought Barca would be settled for years after Coutinho joined. PSG have big potential, but I doubt they'll reach MSN levels. Will be one hell of a job to find...

He fails to arouse compassion with this story. If you've been injured for 2 years, blocking any kind of transfer/loan in order to collect your 12 million euros, then you can't expect to be cheered on. It is Umtiti's right to insist on the contract, but it is also the right of the paying viewer...

He has his moments when you start thinking he is a really good player, but he is lacking the end product for a player that is playing mainly in the final third of the pitch. His career stats underline this quite accurately.

He had a Cruciate Ligament Rupture in 19/20.

Has vision and the ability to create. Will be a very important player for the club.

Btw to those who claimed that if Messi had really loved Barcelona he would have played for them for nothing, helping them on the pitch without impacting on their finances. They believed he could have done it given how wealthy he is. But, as Colin Millar pointed out, Spanish law makes such an...

He didn't say it that directly. I don't remember the exact wording, but he said something like it shouldn't be a problem as they've made many sacrifices to join Barca. He then also said something that some players still need to leave so I wouldn't take the registration of these players for...

11% of La Liga's TV money for 50 years is a really bad deal compared to what they give in return. Signing this would've been continuing Bartomeu's way of leadership. Thinking only about short-term. This had to stop and Laporta and his board were the ones that made that unpopular, but necessary...

I feel bad for him. Messi gone. De Jong injured. Dembele injured. Pedri hasn't even finished last season yet. No reinforcements in central defence. New signings might won't get registrated in time. Everything is perfectly lined-up for another bad start into the season like it was already last...

Still believe that CVC was the dealbreaker. Either Tebas didn't know that CVC sneakily will grab a part of the TV money or he left that part out while negotiating with Laporta. Someone broke the news about it yesterday. Either it was Reverter after having a closer look on the contract (it was...

This is like breaking up with your loved girlfriend because your future plans don't align and seeing her dating the French spoiled brat you always hated.

Nah, we just have to keep him far away from the French national team.

Memphis is still our best bet as he recently was the main man on a club level and he definitely is a player than can create and score. Coutinho on the other hand spent almost 200 days out injured. I always liked Coutinho and I still like him, but he never was a leader and never will be. He has...

Real / Barca and La Liga seem to have completely different views on TV rights in this deal. The two giants seem to be of the opinion that over 11 percent of this holding company actually also has TV rights and not just the so-called "negocio comercial". However, the league insists that this is...

I have read the same. It is the right thing to do. A hard decision, but the right one. ESL has nothing to do with it. It would've been a very bad deal medium to long-term and short-sighted to sign it,

Maybe they hadn't all of the information. At first sight, the deal didn't look that bad. This changed when news came up that this deal is for 50 years. 10% of TV rights for 50 years is much more than what the club is getting in exchange for that. You can't sign that as president of a club.
