Supposedly, this is the burofax that Messi sent Barcelona notifying them of his wish to leave the club, and use his clause to unilaterally break his contract https://twitter.com/fbiasin/status/1298395539789221888?s=21">https://twitter.com/fbiasin/s... https://twitter.com/FBiasin/status/1298395539789221888">https://twitter.com/FBiasin/s...

Manchester City have opened negotiations with Lionel Messi, states @gerardromero . Messi wants two-year contract, and a guarantee Guardiola remains (he has one year left).

La Nacion in Argentina state that Lionel Messi has chosen Manchester City, and they state that he has said in a private conversation that he "is going to talk to Pep to get this all sorted" https://twitter.com/DeportesLN/status/1298697374957699073">https://twitter.com/DeportesL...
A bit from Cadena SER (El Larguero) on Messi& #39;s meeting with Ronald Koeman. Messi wanted to know which players Koeman plans to bring in for the upcoming season, but there seems to be uncertainty considering the economic situation. This was BEFORE the burofax
Barcelona maintain that if Messi wants to leave, someone has to smash the world record (222 million euros, Neymar to PSG in 2017) and view it as very different that Messi wants to go to a rival club, than when Xavi/Iniesta went to Qatar/Japan.

Reported by @verobrunati that Messi will speak in the coming hours https://twitter.com/verobrunati/status/1298980922180567043">https://twitter.com/verobruna...
Same source claims that Messi WANTS to leave: with or without Bartomeu at the club https://twitter.com/verobrunati/status/1298982377457250310">https://twitter.com/verobruna...
Also that City and Messi have agreed a deal: https://twitter.com/verobrunati/status/1298983659693719560">https://twitter.com/verobruna...
Well damn https://twitter.com/footballespana_/status/1299396644354625537?s=20">https://twitter.com/footballe...
It is now reported that it is Messi& #39;s father, Jorge, and their advisors who want a meeting with Barcelona to find a peaceful solution. Lionel Messi will not speak until then https://twitter.com/verobrunati/status/1299369717501698049">https://twitter.com/verobruna...
Pep Guardiola is in Barcelona, it seems https://twitter.com/marcmarba/status/1299431644667969543">https://twitter.com/marcmarba...
Being reported now that Messi has communicated to Barcelona that he will NOT show up for pre-season tests Sunday. He stands firm on his decision to leave https://twitter.com/gerardromero/status/1299757403362201600">https://twitter.com/gerardrom...
Cadena SER state they have seen Messi& #39;s contract at Barcelona, which states he DOES NOT have to pay a buyout clause of €700million to break his contract for his final year of his contract (which is this season). That year was an optional extension https://twitter.com/ellarguero/status/1299823845017296898">https://twitter.com/ellarguer...
Considering that every working contract in Spain usually has a buyout clause, and this one does not, it would have to be passed through the legal system. A court would then, according to Cadena SER, determined what they believe Messi& #39;s buyout clause is, should he want to break it
As expected, Lionel Messi has NOT showed up for PCR testing ahead of the new season. Seems like Barcelona now have an angry Messi on their hands https://twitter.com/mundodeportivo/status/1299986657828102145">https://twitter.com/mundodepo...
The reason for Messi not showing up, relayed by the excellent @marcelobechler , is that he no longer considers himself a Barcelona player, having unilaterally decided to break his contract with the club: https://twitter.com/marcelobechler/status/1299983759941480448">https://twitter.com/marcelobe...
LaLiga are officially siding with Barcelona. They state the clause is still valid, and the only way Messi can leave is if his €700million clause is triggered
