Contracts will probably not be changed, but future tv-money, sponsorshipdeals, matchday revenue will be hugely impacted.

Future TV money/sponsorships etc are not amounting to 100m a season or close to it.

The brand is there as likes of Real and Utd show when losing top marketable players.

Also the argument is to improve the team and that brings its own benefits. Sponsors are not looking at Barca just for Messi. The likes of Nike are signing these deals in recent years knowing Messi leaving can happen soon enough.

the game was alot closer in the beginning and Barca had quite a few chances to go up 2-1 or even 3-1.

Their high press only worked because the back had NO outlets for Messi's walking his pet.

Bayern's high press would not worked with Fati, a healthy Dembele, Gnarby, Davies, etc.

They played the high press due to Barcas old players in midfield and lack of technique from defence and mid to beat it. While knowing littel threat of Suarez/Messi killing them on break.

Bayern just did what Lucho used to do and made it an open game knowing it suited them.

The scoreline was fair enough sadly and they missed more chances.

Where did this 100M came from? We don't pay him that amount, even grossly. He has 35M net in salary.
Maybe you are referring to his overall winnings, like salary, performance bonuses and endorsement.

Also, as soon as we get rid of him we are going for another player of that caliber. We gave Griezmann 20 net

Ask whoever claims Barca lose much more than 100m a season in revenue if he leaves.

Could be a power play to force Bartomeu to resign now. Being remembered as the President who forced Messi's hands to leave the club is something he'll never be able to live down. Same goes for Rosell. Goes hand in hand with these two.

Should be deemed a persona non grata. Never show your face in the Camp Nou ever again.

If he can't comprehend his buddies leaving, it's the only thing left.

Might cost him a statue outside the Camp Nou, tho.

If he goes to Inter he won't be able to play with them anyway. There's been talk about Messi being tired of the situation in Barcelona for a year now.

I'm looking forward to the conclusion of the board meeting tomorrow.
