Sign him up Klopp.
PSG, Chelsea and City the only ones that can afford him.

So you want us to sign us but we can’t afford him?
Id prefer Salah than Messi.

It was tongue in cheek, we can’t afford anyone nevermind the highest paid player on the planet.
Won’t be shocked if City sign him too.
Well he did almost sign for city last summer. So if be shocked if he doesn't go there + New York City in a year or two.
He would and I'm sure he'd love too. The only problem is Messi is absolutely scared shitless of our Robbo. He fears a Scot style smackdown on the training pitch. #builtfromgirders
"Few weeks ago Lionel Messi joined the Billionaires sports athletes club after Cristiano Ronaldo who is currently playing at Juventus. The Argentina forward among only few players who hold life-time endorsement deal with brand. According to news reports in 2017, Messi signed life-time deal with Adidas, which will bring (£18 million) each year to his account. Lionel Messi Adidas deal reported in 2017."
Return to Argentina ?! He's leaving because they won't pay him enough ! No club in Argentina can even pay him 1/10 of what he wants.
After 100m on Grealish isn’t a forgone conclusion though.
PSG please or Madrid for the lols
Over 5 years which would make him 39. No fucking chance. It was a skewed contract.
It's a pretty sad end for Messi (and Barcelona) really.
The decline at Barcelona since Neymar left, the whole financial mess, the issues with Bartomeu and the manner of his departure means that he doesn't really get the send off that a player of his status deserves.

I know you can't really blame it all on Messi. But his wages were obscene..
The whole market is obscene but the best should be paid the best. They’ve made some astonishingly bad decisions over the last 5 years. Paying Messi a massive wedge isn’t one.
Barcelona can thank themselves for getting into this mess. Just look at their signings over the last few years, and massive contracts being handed out.
Pjanic 60 mill, Trincao 31 mill, Griezmann 126 mill, Neto 26 mill, Firpo 20 mill, Malcolm 41 mill, Lenglet 36 mill, Coutinho 135 mill, Dembele 135 mill, Paulinho 40 mill.
They deserve to be in the shits.
Theres paying a wedge. Then theres paying someone almost 4x more than the next best player.
So he's basically limiting his options to 1-2 clubs.
They know Origi......
He made a rod for his own back. Outrageous wages helped bring Barca to this point and his boot room control was the downfall of more than one manager.
I've never seen any sort of breakdown of his contract but I'd assume plenty of his wages were linked to shirt sales, image rights, scoring bonuses etc. Half our squad can double their base wages based on incentives, Messi has outperformed pretty much every player in history over the last decade and a half so he's probably got a contract that reflects that.
Messi aside you just love to see their demise
Agreed, anywhere but England.
Heh good point. This is definitely not what Aguero signed up for.
