Messi literally said that the president didn't keep his word about letting him leave if he wants to, and the only reason he's staying is to avoid a court battle against the club he loves.
Sad really. City would have paid £80m or whatever, Messi would have a new challenge, and Barca would be saving £100m+ a year on wages. Instead he's reluctantly staying, and I can't see City buying him when he's nearly 35. Shame, I would love to see him in the PL.
Meh, I’d rather not see the greatest player ever playing for those sports-washing financial dopers. Would seriously taint his reputation imo.
