Gonna be fun to see who offers Messi more oil tankers, Man City or PSG.

Honestly I see United and Juventus as the two potential favourites.

I could see Juventus sending Ronaldo to PSG (as has also been rumored) and then using that cash to go after Messi.

United could be a big piece too.

Something to look out for here will be Adidas getting involved to finally get Messi on an Adidas sponsored team.

Biggest Adidas sponsored teams right now:

Man United
Juventus
Bayern Munich
Real Madrid (Not happening)
Arsenal (Not happening with that ownership - unless Messi wants London and Adidas makes it happen)

So most likely teams are United and Juventus IMO.

I'd love to see Messi on Bayern Munich.

I wouldnt mind Liverpool either mind you, but thats just not Klopp's style.

He's gonna go to Inter Miami with Suarez to be Beckham's big signings.

I wouldnt put it past him.

At this point, if I were him, I'd be going to the team that backs up the truck with the most money.

He should take a real challenge and join Cavalry FC and take them to MLS.

I feel like Levy has been saving money and pinching pennies for years, just for this moment. This is his finest hour!

Exactly this, Devo. Has there been a club, that has wasted hundreds of millions, with nothing to show like they have over the past 4 years?

The same government, that rolled riot police through Catalonia? Naw, they'll keep that money for the local terroristas.

Doesn't make sense to me at all. There is nothing to suggest that Messi would take Juve over the hump any more than an already settled in Ronaldo.

Can see Messi joining up with Neymar at PSG and Suarez at City or conversely.

He's holding out hoping Lingard will drop from ten to nine million.

Wonder how Koeman feels right about now. Dream job turned pretty nightmarish pretty quick.

I mean I think we already have a pretty good visual representation of Neymar's likely reaction

Hmmm....it would be pretty odd to see a player dive to the ground and grab their shin at a press conference.

Rumors were already out there that Ronaldo wants to move to PSG, so it would be more in line with that.

Plus think of that sweet sweet jersey money if you are Juventus.

Just got two years of that goodness of selling Ronaldo kits, now you get even more money from selling Messi kits for a couple years.

I still won't believe this is anything other than trying to force Bartomeu to leave before the elections until I see him presented at another club.
