The question asked was apparently simple: "How should the renewal of Messi be considered at current Bar?a?" The answer is somewhat more complex, although it could be summed up in what should be called "a life project" based on the sporting and economic relationship that every footballer has with his club, but which, in the case of Leo, "you have to add the sentimental aspect ?, says Ivan Cabeza.

This story, explains Marc Ciria, has no place anywhere else: ?Not with Adidas, not with Argentina, not with City ... Therefore, the objective should be to turn Leo Messi into a strategic partner of the club, not just an ambassador, to increase the value of Bar?a, but also his own ?. And he wonders: "Can Messi continue to generate income for Bar?a when he no longer plays?" He answers himself: ?Absolutely. And it can also be measured ?. Josep Fabra adds that, in addition, ?And all this without paying him a salary because his benefits would be the benefits shared with Bar?a?. The question is obliged: How is this achieved?

The objective is to increase income thanks to the combination of Bar?a and Leo Messi, whose sum is not 1 + 1 = 2, but much more. To this end, the three economists have identified four major areas in which all parties should actively collaborate to benefit: Fundaci? FCB and Fundaci? Leo Messi, Bar?a Academy, BL&LM (electronic commerce, merchandising ...) and Bar?a Corporate (Bar?a_Studios / Bar?a Innovation Hub). The role of Leo Messi to increase the income of these departments is vital through joint projects of the foundations, involvement in the Bar?a Academy, now in deficit, as well as the generation of audiovisual content. "If we can quantify (and it can be done) what you generate, 300 million, since 50 or 60 million a year are yours," explains Ciria, who is clear that the union with Bar?a for life, would allow "the Messi brand to transcend to Messi himself and that his Foundation is strengthened in such a way that it is even a legacy for those who come ?. How about the Cruyff Foundation? "Exactly".

Never gets old watching him and Alves run combinations on anybody and everybody.

Yeah full agree, Dani and Messi were probably the best duo ever. You have players with a high IQ and you have players with worldclass ball abilities but Dani had both. As a oppenent you know the game is already lost before it started when Leo and Dani were in mood. Imagine if left Marcelo/Ronaldo and right Dani/messi would have played, unstoppable wings. :worthy:

Brain switched off when he said the renewal was Also sentimental. Big alarm bells with that statement.

There's things that make sense, but not to the extent that the article suggests.

Say for example the FCB Escola training camp in Beijing or Singapore.

Would it generate more money as an FC Barcelona-Messi campus than a FC Barcelona or Messi Campus? Well yes, but only if Messi makes an appearance.

Perhaps Barcelona could manufacture a brand with Messi like Air Jordan (Mes si un club) but I don't know if Messi can contractually do that being with Nike.

So there are ideas, but hopefully they exist outside of the current renewal, which is that of an excellent, but old player. Sentiment went out the window when his contract was leaked, buddy.

He can always use fax. :lol: (sorry, I had to)

Anyway, Leo not being in Barcelona is not that big deal, it's his dad (who I think is still in the city) who is negotiating.

Even if he has decided to stay and accept lower wages there are still many details that needs to be worked out before a contract can be written. And then multiple lawyers from both sides will be going through every word in a (pre)contract several times before everything will be ready for Messi to sign. But if/when everything will be agreed I'm sure the club will announce that even if Messi won't be present to actually sign his contract before July.

Yesterday it came to light that Leo Messi already had Barcelona's renewal offer on the table. The Argentine environment denied it although it did transpire that the terms of the proposal that TV3 revealed this Thursday at noon are known.

At night, the Onze program expanded and qualified the information. In recent days, they explained, there were several meetings between Jorge Messi, the player's father and agent, and Joan Laporta, Bar?a president. In this sense, they point out that the offer is not in writing, but that the economic aspect was discussed. According to the aforementioned program, Messi would earn half of what he enters now but in 10 years.

On the other hand, Leo himself, as in the case of other colleagues, is waiting to have more details about the sports project. Especially who will be the coach.

In addition, ESPN added that the last meeting between Laporta and Jorge Messi was on Wednesday and after the match both parties ended up happy with the match and with good feelings.
