Lionel Messi to leave Barcelona: Argentina captain won't sign new contract.

The Spanish club said in a statement that it cannot afford to re-sign Messi because of "economic and structural" issues. Messi, 34, has been a free agent since his previous terms expired on June 30.

The club said in a statement: "Despite having reached an agreement between FC Barcelona and Leo Messi and with the clear intention of both parties to sign a new contract today, it cannot be formalized due to economic and structural obstacles [Spanish LaLiga regulations].

"Given this situation, Lionel Messi will not continue linked to FC Barcelona. Both parties deeply regret that the wishes of both the player and the club cannot finally be fulfilled.

"Barca would like to thank with all its heart the player's contribution to the enhancement of the institution and wishes him the best in his personal and professional life."

Bara is so stupid. Give all these mediocre players enormous wages so you can't afford to pay the best player this sport has ever seen anymore. So many stupid decisions these last years.
They lose so much with Messi gone. I don't think they'll recover from this. But it's completely on them.
End of an era for sure.
I hope he won't go to PSG, but they're pretty much the only club that can afford him in Europe.

I don't think City can afford him right now, they just got Grealish and probably Kane as well.
But I would love him to go to City for sure.

It was only announced today. Meahwhile, Liverpool continues to bask in the warm glow of knowing that they royally fucked Barca in the Coutinho sale.

Philippe really *is* the gift that just keeps on giving.

They won a goddamn league title thanks to him, and he wasn't even there.
Now that's good business.

The worst part of it is that they loan Coutinho to Bayern and he scores a double against them in the Champions League. Talk about insult to injury!

Bartomeu has really destroyed the club. So many awful signings, spending more than they could afford.

Damn I forgot about that.
Not the 8-2, that was glorious, but the fact that Coutinho scored twice against them. Lol.

Neymar leaving really fucked them up. Signing Dembele, Coutinho and Griezmann were poor choices. And those ridiculous wages... Griezmann is on 880k a week... It's ludicrous.

Apparently Sergio Aguero is pissed off Messi is leaving and wants to void his contract with Barcelona.

This is getting even more interesting.
