Qatar Sports Investments, not satisfied with Neymar and Mbappe now they have Messi as well. I'm all for free markets and private wealth, but there's something about this I don't quite like, it's just a tad manipulative, We`ll see how well it pans out. Think, the main reason Neymar wanted to leave Barca, was because he didn`t like playing second fiddle to Messi. Will that change now? Watch this space.

Lionel Messi said he dreams of winning the Champions League once more after joining Paris St-Germain, adding: "I think we have the team to do it here."
The Argentina captain, 34, won four Champions League titles with Barcelona, the last of which came in 2015.
PSG are still searching for their first title in the competition, having lost to Bayern Munich in the 2020 final.
"My goal and my dream is to win the Champions League once more," Messi said as he was unveiled as a PSG player.
"It was a difficult change after so long a time," he told reporters at the Parc des Princes. "But the moment I arrived here, I felt very happy and I really want to begin the training sessions. I want it to be quick.
"My only will now is to begin the training sessions. I want to work with the staff and team-mates and begin this new moment of my life.
"I have this will to play. I am really impatient. I still want to win, as I did the first moment of my career.
"I feel this club is ready to fight for all the trophies. This is my goal, I want to keep growing and keep winning titles and that is why I came to this club."
However, Messi is aware that in order to lift the trophy for a fifth time, he may have to face Barcelona along the way, and admits that playing at the Nou Camp in PSG's colours would be "very strange".
"Barcelona is my home - I have been there since I was a kid and I've lived so many things there," he added.
"I don't know if we are going to face each other - it would be very nice to go back to Barcelona.
"It will be very strange to play at home there in Barcelona with another shirt but it can happen and we will see."

Quids in or what..!!
Barcelona still owe their former Argentina striker Lionel Messi €39m (£33m) as part of a loyalty bonus included in the 34-year-old Paris St-Germain player's final contract.
