1/ Let’s not forget that Lionel Messi’s reported frustration with Barcelona (which has been brewing for a while) could change one way or another. We have to remember that aside from his own loyalty and relationship to the club, which is bigger than his distrust of Josep Bartomeu,

2/ this is also about his family. Antonella and the 3 boys have a life there and the city is all they have known. I’m sure LM wants to leave, and I’m sure that desire has become even more immediate in recent days, but Messi is above all a husband and father and I still think...

3/...his wish to leave has many, many factors. I think Barcelona could change this as long as a complete do-over plan is put on the table. Or maybe not. Regardless, the decision to leave the club is more complex than we think.

4/ Also, If he goes...I would gamble on Serie A. He still has a few more years before even contemplating Newell’s Old Boys or MLS.

5/ and as many have noted, the report comes from @marcelobechler, who was the first to break the Neymar PSG news. https://twitter.com/marcelobechler/status/1295058777666981893

6/...but also, mi compa @moillorens reports that as of right now, Barcelona has not had any contact from Messi’s camp in regards to this matter. It could be tomorrow. Or maybe never. Either way, right now? Nada: https://twitter.com/moillorens/status/1295081298231525377
