For details, which teams do you think Barcelona would "mind" having Messi signing for?
Lionel Messi \ Signs for PSG

Paris St-Germain and Manchester City.
I read somewhere that Galactico business model was a huge success for Real Madrid. It hugely increased Real Madrid's marketing power and also the revenue. I believe the next cycle starts with Mbappe + Haaland + Pogba next summer.
All players will be leaving on a free?
So PSG will have messi, neymar and mbappe? Jeeeeees they really should be winning it all. No excuses.
Haaland won't be.
I just find it mad Neymar, Messi and Mpbappe possibly the best 3 in the world might all be playing in a B league. Whats next Rangers/Celtic get bought out and they start buying Haaland, Kane and whoever the next superstars are. Best thing PSG could do with their millions is figure out how to make the rest of the league more competitive. Maybe they buy Bellingham, Haaland , Kane and loan them out amongst the league. Recall them if they clubs getting too good. 
Barca had a better front line with a prime Messi, Neymar and Suarez and “only” won it all once in fairness.
Bit of a dick move towards one of your greatest ever players trying to block him from probably the only club that is realistically in for him.
Yes the numbers that get released in the media are the most sensationalist. A number of companies (Forbes, PwC, etc.) make estimates about those sorts of things, all relying on different data and different models, with caveats about how to interpret x, y and z.
The media have no interest in a complicated story about company a said this and company b said this and here’s why the numbers differ. So they just take the biggest number.
Over time companies adapt their methods to create the biggest number because it’s exclusively used for PR value, it isn’t intended to inform anyone. They charge lots of money for the real number crunching, the free stuff is just to put their name in the papers.
Meanwhile Spurs made a bid for Messi.
There's bad blood between Barcelona and PSG going back to the Neymar signing 4 years ago.
Seems it’s not the club from what I just read but a fan group trying to stop it. Seems like one of those things where Barca just need to accept it knuckle down and sort themselves out.
They need to keep Fati, Pedri and DeJong although if he is making near 400k a week then he might need to go as well unless they shift Griezman, Coutinho,Pjanic.
I agree. Barcelona's priority has to be to sort out their finances at the moment, more than anything else.
Haven't everyone from that time resigned by now?
I think you're right and @Andersons Dietician just clarified that it isn't the club itself who are trying to stop the transfer but a group of Barcelona supporters.
Ligue un really isn't that bad anymore. The french crowds are always great and have some pretty competitive matches. I'd genuinely rather watch that than La Liga these days.I just find it mad Neymar, Messi and Mpbappe possibly the best 3 in the world might all be playing in a B league.

That would be awesome
I‘m sorry but why is it their concern??
Ed should be on the blower now, finally, we can make OT the new Disneyworld!
They dont have a leg to stand on but any light shone on the despicable practices of Oil money clubs is a good thing.
The bad blood started earlier than that, when Barcelona tried to get Thiago Silva and Verratti.
What a shit show this is turning out to be, now Barcelona are trying to sue him even though he has no contract with them? Apparently trying to block him moving to PSG as a free agent? What right do they even have to do that? I'm glad My United is not getting close to this Mess guy he's too much trouble!! All that is remaining now is for Spain come up with his tax evasions.
Barca are really embarrasing themselves aren't they?
I have never felt Barcelona ever cared that much more about United than they do City. With Pep and Txiki being there specially.
Regardless, this is hardly Barcelona's decision.
United should sign him and send him to Barca as loan...
I wonder how come PSG has the money to buy Messi but ManUtd doesn't? Not complaining or anything, just curious what's the reasoning for this from financials point of view
Who told you United couldn't offer Messi a contract? I'm sure they could, but he's either got zero interest in coming and/or United has no interest in throwing their salary structure out of the window by bringing him in.
It's in line with Madrid's approach. The state-owned club screwed them. City have been a bit more respectful towards them but they still do not like what they represent. The two historical Spanish clubs love United.
Which is ironic because in many ways Madrid and Barcelona are state "supported" themselves.
Everybody talking about Messi to PSG, but where will Icardi end up ?
In wanda's rear.
Back to Italy maybe? I know he and his wife burned their bridge at Inter but I could see another club like Roma going after him with Dzeko on the way to Inter.
No way is he sticking around once Messi joins given their history
Iccardi + wanda and Jose... yeah thats gonna be interesting
I thought he would be a good option for spurs if they dont get martinez
This is a tad unreliable too considering the source, but apparently Diego Monroig, another journalist for ESPN Argentina, is saying that Messi has another competing offer from a club in London
He will tell him to study Lingard.
Messi
Messi, Eto'o Henry was also better
