33. Thanks for everything you have done for our club Leo.
34. I really enjoyed the full season we worked together.
35. I am impressed with your work ethic and desire to win.
36. Record Transfer fees it has still not been enough yet to get them over the line.
37. Similarlydespite lifting the Champions League on four occasionswinning the pinnacle of European club competition has escaped Messi since 2015.
38. S time as Tottenham managerhe often faced working under a tight budget and struggling to get deals over the line.
39. In 2018Spurs notoriously became the first Premier League club that failed to bring in any players during the summer Transfer window.
40. Since joining PSG as head coachhoweverPochettino has overseen an incredible window for the club that has included bringing in veteranssuch as Sergio Ramos as well as rising stars in Gianluigi Donnarumma.
41. Lionel Messi will give a press conference at the Nou Camp on Sunday at 11am BST.
42. Him seemingly leaving the Nou Camp changes that for the worse.
43. Germain clicked into gear on Thursday evening and the French club are increasingly confident they will get their manbut a move to MLS has long been mooted.
44. Or moving to the US just yetthat is certainly not stopping some very persuasive people from doing so and a credible supporting cast is only encouraging them.
45. Understands there are two competing plans for moving Messi to America one day.
46. S departure starts to hit hometributes to the Argentine from Barcelona players have begun to flood in.
47. We met in 2000we were 13 years old and had a career ahead of us.
48. If we had designed it at that timeit was impossible to make it better.
49. We won the treble and you became the best player of all time.
50. Now you are leavingbut I know that one day you will come back.
51. Have funenjoy wherever you go and keep winning as only you know how to do.
52. All the boys who come to the Masia dream of being able to play with youI feel lucky to have fulfilled it.
53. I wanted to thank you these two years for your gestures of affection towards me and for everything I learned.
54. Thania member of the Qatari royal familyhas tweeted that a deal is done.
55. 300m in the decade or so prior to being taken over.
56. He signed a contract until 2023 after his City contract expired in June.
57. Many people instinctively felt that the Barcelona statement released on Thursday was a bluffnoting the lack of goodbyes from Barcelona players and staff.
58. S academy in a few yearshas bid his public farewell today.
59. At 4 years oldI came from my country Guinea to fulfil my dream of being a footballerbut I never thought that one day I would play with the best player in the world and that he would give me an assist to score my first goal as a professional.
60. All of Guinealike all of my family and me only have words of thanks for everything.
61. S worth noting that he is wrangling with the club over his own contractwith the youngster currently frozen out by Ronald Koeman for refusing to help the club out by signing an extension way below market rate.
62. So it feels unlikelyand as if the genuine goodbyes are about to arrive for Messi.
63. Are suggesting that Sergio Aguero is rethinking his decision to sign for Barcelona before even playing a game for the club.
64. The Manchester City legend has been good friends with Messi since they were teenagers and much of the reasoning for moving to the Nou Camp was to play with the Barcelona captain.
65. Butfairly predictablyreports are now leaking out that Aguero may look to get out of his Barca agreement.
66. Because they were so drastically over the salary limit for La Liga.
67. Messi34has been a free agent since July 1 when his contract with the club expired.
68. That means losses are much higher than expectedand debt is much bigger toowhich means that with the current contracts we have no margin.
69. The agreement with Leo Messi had certain risksand we were willing to take them onbut when we saw the situation of the club through this auditwe just had no margin after the calamitous previous board.
70. S financial rules if Barcelona agreed to investment from CVC.
71. Deal with CVC that could see private equity involved in the running of one of the biggest European football leagues for the first time.
72. But we could not give up a part of our broadcast rights over a long period.
73. We did not want to mortgage the future of the club.
74. The club has to be above playerspresidentseveryone.
75. S reporting from Thursday night that Lionel Messi and his entourage had engaged PSG in conversations over a move.
76. Commercial partners lining up to be associated with a team boasting NeymarKylian Mbappe and then Messi himself.
77. At the same timewe are focused on the clubwhich is working on the Transfer window in a discreet wayand working to improve the team in whichever way possible to achieve the targets we set at the start of the season.
78. In terms of Lionel Messiwe know what happened yesterday.
79. We are fully focused on beating Troyes and starting the season well.
80. At the same timeour sporting director and president are working hard to improve the team.
81. Revealed yesterday that Messi himself made a direct approach to PSG manager Mauricio Pochettinowhich triggered discussions to commence.
82. Messi is represented by his fatherJorgewho has represented his son throughout his career at Barcelona.
83. A reader asks how many teams could actually afford Lionel Messiin a bid to narrow down where Messi could end up.
84. Liverpool could probably be included technically but they have not shown any willing to spend significant sums this summerlet alone handing out the biggest contract in global football.
85. T seem like they will do any business beyond the additions of Dayot Upamecano and Omar Richardswhich had both been planned since early springbut are now pushing for Marcel Sabitzer.
86. T on the same level of financial commitment necessary to sign Messi.
87. So it would appear that there are four feasible destinations for Messi in Europeand potentially MLS or Argentina as a wild outside possibility.
88. If he leaves Barcelona and should Messi become something that can be discussedthen we could potentially explore that option.
89. Wellthey just signed Jadon Sancho and are incredibly bullish on the prospects of their young forward line that includes homegrown prospects Mason Greenwood and Marcus Rashford.
90. Probably the worst thing for Messi is that this has come so late in the window.
91. S further narrowed a market that was already narrowed by his own salarial demands.
92. Germainon Thursday about a move to the French capital.
93. Including the commercial discussions PSG have already initiated.
94. Of which was to be shared among the 42 Primera and Segunda Division clubs.
95. 280 millionto be received over the next three years.
96. But there were a couple of problems with that assumption.
97. Field things like infrastructuremarketing and brand development.
98. Was not going to be enough for Barcelona to pay all of the salary and bonuses which had been agreed.
99. The second issue was that Barca would not automatically be in favour of the CVC deal and in fact both they and Real released statements last night in opposition to it.
100. Club committee which unanimously voted in favour of the idea on Wednesday.
101. And that a decision was made without consulting them.
102. After allbothin public at leastare still in favour of a European Super League.
103. Operates in more of a free market environmentwhere teams can move up and down the leagues and player labour is compensated at a rate that a fairly efficient global market will decide.
104. In the American sports leagues of notea limited number of franchises form a closed system.
105. That is 3x an entire NHL rosterand more than any NBA franchise spent on theirs last season.
106. Is overpaidthere is an argument that the likes of Patrick Mahomes and Aaron Rodgers are simply underpaid.
107. S News he appears to be a free agent looking for a new club.
108. The hard reality is that Barcelona just cannot maintain the standard of squad that everyone around the Nou Camp has been used to for years.
109. Three seasons ago they had the highest wage bill in world sportbut over a decade of financial mismanagement has finally caught up with them and they can only afford a salary bill similar to that of Leicester City or Aston Villa.
110. In La Liga terms they would be third – well adrift of Real Madrid and also behind Atletico Madridbut still ahead of SevillaValencia and Villarreal.
111. The other 75 per cent has to go to paying off debts.
112. Is a start but much more serious cuts are required.
113. La Liga does not make its salary limits public until after the season startsso the following is guesswork but does give an idea of the type of dilemmas Barcelona face.
114. That would all be a big helpbut it would probably not free up enough space to register Messinever mind their four summer signings.
115. So difficult decisions will have to be madewith it very likely that someone at the club has to make a call over whether to register one player or another.
116. T be registered until Barca have worked out their financial issues and come under the salary limit.
117. S youth teams and then the senior national teamand the motivation of playing together was key in Aguero turning down approaches from elsewhere earlier this summer.
118. Might tell us a lot about which way we think this is going to go.
119. The official stance remains that Messi will not renew his Barca contractbut plenty of people in football will only believe that when they see him holding up the shirt of another team.
120. Now that could change if Messi is truly not going to return to the Nou Camp butfor nowthe French champions are reportedly happy to let the best player of a generation pass them by.
121. We asked you all where you thought Messi might be playing next season.
122. S head being thrown at himit will be a whole pig.
123. Memphis Depay joined Barcelona on a free Transfer from Lyon this summer and said one of the biggest factors in leaving France for Spain was his desire to play alongside Lionel Messi.
124. I have abilities and strong points different to Aguerofor exampleor any player.
125. I believe that the three of us are compatible and differentbut we are going to see how everything goes.
126. S Dermot Corrigan explained why this was an issue on Thursday morning.
127. Messi playing for Barcelona at start of season looks unlikely.
128. The end of the Transfer windowand also the last day to register players for the new La Liga season.
129. S deadline for the final list of players for the Champions League group stage is September 2and its rules state players must be registered to play in their domestic leagues before being submitted for European ones.
130. T agree by August 31Messi cannot be included in the squad for the Champions League group phase.
131. But blaming La Liga works doubly as a flimsy excuse and a targeted threat.
132. Pull relationship with its two biggest clubswith the Super League the latest chapter in those chronicles of mistrust.
133. T work out how to fit all their players into the required financial framework to compete in La Liga next season.
134. S contract renewal being impossibleand thus the Argentine walking away from the club where he has spent 20 years.
135. S certainly the simplest explanationand leads to a ton of interesting questions.
136. And they know the league needs his star power more than ever.
137. Losing Lionel Messi was definitely not the way Barcelona hoped to solve their financial crisis.
138. The Spanish club have also been trying to move on numerous high earnersincluding the likes of Antoine GriezmannPhilippe CoutinhoOusmane DembeleMartin Braithwaite and Samuel Umtiti.
139. But the club have not been able to find any potential suitorswhich is not surprising given their large contracts.
