City was instigated as the big favourite for the six-time Ballon d’Or winner after telling Barcelona that they wanted to leave, referring to the clause in their contract that allows him to let him loose at the end of the season.
Yesterday, Barca, who yesterday broke his silence on stage, pressed the clause to expire on 10 June and that its termination clause should be set at EUR 700 million.
But Messi’s representatives argue that it has run until August due to the lengthening of the season due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Paul Hirst of the Times reports that The City has been executing the mega movement for more than a week and that the club has the ability to close the deal even at a change fee.
