Barcelona can't afford to keep him, and thus he understands they are forced to sell -- but
SPECIFICALLY, his camp won't concede the the Loyalty bonus (€15m) he's entitled to. Which isn't paid out if he specifically says he wants to be leave. Simple brinkmanship, and Laporta is the one who will fold.
