again, there is no way that messi will ask for these wages from a new club. so it doesnt really matter what his wages were this past season.
lets assume his wages will be 500k/w from city. thtats roughly 25 million a year. thats not too hard to cover with 1 transfer and ffp is done with. i highly doubt any club would go over 500k for him, and if he really wants to leave he for sure knows he wont get that 1m/w salary anywhere, so his basically agreed already for a lowered salary.
and if he cant leave for free he wont leave at all.
also, didnt they say that ffp is not counted for the next season because of the virus or am i trippin.
