If the move was purely money motivated then surely he could just stay where he is and continue being the highest paid footballer in history.
I still suspect this is some sort of political move, and my bets are still on him being at Barcelona next season.1 -
Looks like after the all the fuss and drama, he's now going to stay.0
-
I actually reckon Barca's best bet would have been to sell him now, get £100m say, and the £60m odd saving in wages, and spend it on rebuilding the squad.

Exactly
He will 100% leave for free next May/June
What do they get for keeping him for one extra season, with Suarez going and a unhappy Messi its not like the are going to win La Liga or the Champions League.
So sell him and rebuild1 -
In a move that shocks no-one, Messi confirms he will be staying at Barcelona another year.0
-
Messi has confirmed he is staying
Says he is unhappy but doesn't want to get into a legal dispute so will stay this season
Reckon he will 100% go for free in May/June 20210 -

Waiting for us to be promoted back to the championship and then signing on a free. Good move Leo 👍6

New president elected, brings in Xavi as manager or director of football, they start to make some decent signings like Martinez from Inter and Messi will probably end up seeing out his career there.

The blokes a wanker, he was never going to leave, he can't, he would do fuck all in The Prem or Germany, the only way he would score the amount of goals he currently does is if he signed for a Scottish team.4

Messi was never going to leave. Threatens to leave pretty much every season. Loves the attention.

A league in which Jamie Vardy and Danny Ings score most weeks.6 -
Why did he agree to that massive release clause in his contract?
He must know that no one will pay it and he's with Barcelona for his career.
On Sky they said as he's staying another season he's entitled to an 18m euros loyalty payment. Nice work if you can get it.0 -
Isn’t he out of contract next summer? I can’t see him leaving though, will probably extend that by at least a year or two.0
-
Think he is 10 goals short of Pele’s world record of goals scored for one team, he was never leaving.1
-
Whilst it is true that Messi has threatened this sort of thing in the past, I do believe that he did want out this time but it seems as though the contract actually held up and made a difference (for once!)
Don't think he does it for attention. When you are a player on his level, it must be frustrating to not see the club/country you play for not trying to match your ambition by signing average managers all the time.2 -

Crazy the situation they are in, having to try and sell millions of pounds of players just to be able to register the free signings they've made. And that's before they try to sign Messi back up.0 -
If anyone were to sign him... Now is the opportunity.0
