If Barcelona sell Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Ivan Rakitic this summer, Ronald Koeman will be the only one left at the Nou Camp who has scored in a Champions League final.

They called Messi a fraud for not leaving his comfort zone in La Liga. Now that he wants to leave they’re calling him a coward. It’s always different rules for Messi and that’s why he’s the best

(🌕) Barcelona take it for granted that they will not be able to keep Messi against their will, but they do not want to let him go for free. Their idea is to ask for a millionaire transfer, even if it is well below €700M. @rac1 #FCB 🇦🇷🚨💰

In reality, this is either a power play by Messi, or he has talked to Guardiola and is ready for a new challenge with City in the EPL. They are the only two realistic scenarios. 📰
