Messi to leave Barcelona tip

We have a feeling the fans might tear down Nou Camp if Messi is allowed to leave, but the powerbrokers at Barcelona will not want to be seen to be allowing the tail to wag the dog. While Messi has shortened dramatically to leave Barcelona, so far there has been very little set in concrete, despite a feverish media’s speculation.

We think after a few more weeks of constant attention, Barcelona will make the changes required to keep their star man happy, which makes the 1.60 on offer for Messi to stay good money. Barca won’t let their dismal end to La Liga and their horrific Champions League slide, so expect major restructuring and Messi to stay.

Will Messi leave Barcelona best bet tip: Messi to stay, paying 1.60 with 888Sport.
