The Scottish media reports that Messi and City Football Group have agreed on a five-year partnership, which predicts that the Argentine will receive about £ 700 million (~ 780 million euros) over the next five seasons.
The City Football Group includes both the City of Manchester and the City of New York, which play in the strongest football league in the United States, the MLS. Part of the five-year contract is expected to be held at the Manchester Club, but at the end of his career the Argentine will move to North America.
It is still unclear whether (or will be) the compensation that FC Barcelona will receive in this situation. On Wednesday evening, Messi’s agent and father Jorhe Mesi arrived in Barcelona to discuss the terms of the divorce with his client’s former club.
Previously, Messi and Bercelona disagreed on a clause in the contract that allowed the Argentine to notify the club by June 10 that he was about to leave and that the Catalan football giant would not receive a penny for his star, but Messi did not implement the clause. However, the Argentine representatives consider that, due to the interruption caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, this clause should also be extended.
