So who's the new ''Mister Barcelona'' if Leo left? Mavericky? Pique? Busquets? Or maybe it's Cardioman, because he is ''worldclass''.
Memphis? Easily marketable.

The only athlete I've ever seen leave money on the table is Tom Brady and his wife's net worth is almost twice his.
You pay transcendental players whatever you want and can to keep them. The rest you keep in line.
Barcelona will still have to pay Messi a loyalty bonus of ?39M despite not extending with the team and joining PSG.

Messi wants a competitive but also bled us dry.
He can't bleed PSG dry, so good choice for him.
Not sure who to believe in this saga TBH.
Loyalty bonus for leaving
Neymar thought him well.
4. Laporta and Messi reach formal agreement on 5 year contract, with payments being structured as to leave the biggest part of the amount at the end of the contract
How generous from him and his greedy father. 4 years of fleecing the club wasn't enough , another 4 or 5 years were needed.
Best case scenario - Laporta was naive or stupid for believing he could pull it off. Doesn't absolve him for lying and the way Messi left.
Worst case scenario - Laporta knew what he was doing as that was his plan to kick start the new era. He could really have the best interest of the club at heart longterm, but that's no way to treat Messi.
He didn't leave, contract was fulfilled so clause gets triggered.
