I think it mostly is.
Bayern seemed to have a salary valuation for him and he disagreed.
He is also 28, so this is his peak and maybe they didnt want to up his wages?
Its similar to Wijnaldum...why would you want to go to Barca at this juncture? They are a post-apex team and if Messi gets his feathers ruffled and bails at any point they are immediately a mid-table club in a weak Spanish league and...they're also basically broke, so I dont know how they intend to pay him.
They also still owe Liverpool money for Coutinho and that might have to end up being settled in Court because they just dont have the cash and while Liverpool are sponsored by a Bank they are not one so when cash is due I imagine they expect to collect.
