This is one Transfer that could never happen

[S-RED]

But Messi has been there since he was a kid, no chance

[Dessy]

I think we've got more chance of signing Messi than Real.....or should I rephrase.....it won't happen.

[Scratch]

If his buyout clause is £120 million then Barca can not refuse that sort of bid. It would then come down to the player's desires...FWIW i don't think Messi would contemplate leaving.

[Bender]

tbh even players can become unhappy and leave

[-V-]

Nah mate, sometimes you have to understand that a players connection to a club is too strong to suddenly leave for the enemy. Messi has been at Barca since he was about 13, they looked after him and gave him the medical treatmeant he required back them and couldn't afford in Argentina. He's a catalan and he's pretty much the highest earning footballer in the world. He is very well looked after. Why would he leave all that and the best team/club in the world to go play for the failing enemy?

Impossible

[Bender]

i understand what your saying but it's like a happy marriage even that can end in divorce ..... it's thinking that something that is impossible but can always become possible ..... right now no chance but you never know.....that's the thing in football you never know

[CJ]

cant see him going to Madrid even if unhappy at Barca.

a sort of for the fans thing.

i imagine that clause will go above 120m on his next contract

but real under perez are awful

[Matt]

Impossible. Messi is a god at Barcelona. And he's an adopted Catalan. You know what they say, more than just a football club

Madrid can just **** right off. I hope they never win anything ever again.

It's breathtaking, laughable arrogance. Man City are going the same way.

Shame his buyout clause is in fact €250M

From Wiki: In 18 September, Messi signed a new contract with Barcelona, running until 2016 and with a buy-out clause of €250 million included,

Impossible

- apparently he is so much of an adopted catalan that back in Argentina they don't like him very much and refer to him as "the catalan". He has apparently shunned his heritage and himself admits he feels more spanish/catalunian than argentinian
