Lionel Messi - To Leave Barcelona


football forums

Recommended Posts

I don't see how Messi gets out on a free if the details are right. I doubt that the contract says 'end of the season', it will surely have a date? Now you could argue that date should have been moved given how the season has panned out but I doubt it will stand in a court of law, just like loads of players could leave at the end of June, that was the end and the clubs couldn't just say 'you're staying till the 'end of the season'.

Regarding Messi's opt-out clause, if I were his lawyer what I'd argue is that the date of May 31st shouldn't be interpreted as May 31st itself, but instead as the last day of the month when the season ends. That's the true spirit of the contract. 

Therefore, since this season ended in August, Messi would have until August 31st to exercise this clause.

Contract law is fairly unequivocal with fixed date clauses; If the contract states date parameters that is binding. Regardless of Coronavirus, which at best would be considered a force majeure which I have little doubt would also be accounted for rendering it dismissible as a reason to ignore the contractual dates.

What bearing on the case  would 30million cash dropped on the table have? :ph34r:

May as well add the other 670m to the cash. If the contract has a date, the date holds power. The only other way out of it would be for Messi to argue Barcelona acted in such a way to constitute a breach of contract.
