The way Messi has conducted himself since the Bayern thrashing as supposed 33 year old club captain with 20 years history with the club, has been nothing short of horrendous. Contract or no contract it shows a distinct lack of respect to the fans, teammates and the new manager wether he wants to stay or not.

A harsh reality: what if no one is interested in 33 years old Messi on insane wages, who barely runs and is not a deciding factor in Europe anymore?

Then he needs to lower his wages if he really wants to leave. Simple as that.
I feel you bruh but going to court would mean not playing till at least January and perhaps even longer if lawyers manage to drag this endlessly. Everybody loses.
It many ways, this sucks cuz it would've been frankly dope to see him dominate the EPL, even more so with Chelsea but on the other hand, there's also the possibility that he got real mad when Barto leaked his last meeting with Commando and wanted to... kick something
if it was an impulsive decision taken rashly, once he cools down, he might actually prefer staying in sunny Barcelona for one glorious final summit attempt!
That would be the best Sun Tzu play once he assesses all options. Think we see him back in training as soon as next week.
FIFA has said they would allow him to be registered for another team, so he could start training and even playing for City while the legal battle is dragging on.
And what makes believing La Liga less naive than believing Messi's camp? If you remember, La Liga has lied and said this kind of baseless stuff before in the Neymar saga, how they wouldn't accept PSG's transfer fee etc, and it all still happened. Seems to me that believing La Liga who has a clear agenda of fearing to lose another superstar is much more naive than believing Messi who is the only one to actually publicly quote the contract and the wording in it.

Believe it on the actions of Messi who is desperate to leave and could be at City for new season with threat of a court case he know will win.
If that was case would be gone.
Keep believing it is about 'niceness' he is not at City if you want.

he has to do test for covid before training so I guess no

Villarato!
While I do largely agree, what is the best indication we have that he even wants to join City of all places? Not doubting it's possible, but this here was the first indication of Messi camp intentions in the whole debacle ergo that he is set on leaving, but would opt to stay if he needs to protect image. It's not been said anywhere where he would have signed, not even known if he himself has chosen.
