Can't Bojan and Muni put in a word?
Then Peter Coates can get his big transfer dong out.

Offer him 10% of BET365s takings for the next 3yrs. Free Oatcakes plus a free pass to Alton Towers.

Depressingly, i think it'll be PSG
An oil team with Qatari backers, who'll make the most of promoting him all over the place until the WC. As it's unlikely anyone can go to games he could be offered a bigger slice of TV money, or some other shady deal.
When Beckham signed for PSG, there was a huge amount of fuss because he gave away all his wages to a French charity. Whilst this has incredible PR for brand Beckham, it actually meant he not only saved on a huge tax bill, but he was also allowed to sell his underwear range with another store, and that's where he really made some serious money, that allegedly dwarfed what he was getting paid by the club in wages.
The only other team it could be is Man City, but i just don't think it will be.

Bit more genteel strolling around scoring a goal or two a week there rather than getting clattered by gritty full backs in Burnley who want a story to tell their grandkids.

Watching Messi in the flesh is an experience, would be amazing to see him play in this country. Amazing footballer.

Man City will meet the Messi family next week PSG are preparing an offer "Man City meet the Messi family". Finally - a replacement for Jeremy Kyle. I've been utterly bereft since Kyle was cancelled. Whether it's an adequate substitute for the DNA result section remains to be seen. Sounds like a good show, however.

If he goes Man City, Foden should consider his options next season - he really needs to be playing week in, week out now.

Balague is talking about a fake audio with a Messi impersonator I don't understand though, there's no audio in the story, it's all "a source close to Messi" stuff.. EDIT- he says he knows it's come from an audio where someone us impersonating Messi

I like that he sent a fax. Who sends a fax?? Maybe Barcelona said they need it by fax because they thought Messi wouldnāt be able to find a fax machine and then have to sack it off and stay. During his contract negotiation: āOne final thing Lionel, if you ever want to leave just let us know. In Brailleā

If he does go to Man City, we'd better get frigging promoted and allowed back into stadia before he retires or pisses off somewhere else.

Not only can Stoke not do it on a wet and windy night in Stoke. We can very rarely do it on a mild and intermittently sunny day in Stoke. I imagine Messi would do OK.

Iād heard it was only active until the end of July or something the other day, meaning he couldnāt leave. Itās all a bit āMessiā really. Hard to know whatās going on. One things for sure seeing him play in England would be amazing! I for one hope he comes.
