If Messi left Barca, where could he go?

Yes, yes, yes, It's unlikely but it could happen. Let's say we give Barca a good going over. After the pumping they received against Bayern, maybe Messi (and others) may think their dominance is well and truly over in Europe and look to move on.

Where would he go? Who could afford him?

In my mind, He'd only go somewhere where he earned top dollar and had a very good chance of winning the CL.

Italian clubs are cash strapped and not good enough.

Germany - only Bayern could afford him

France - PSG or Monaco could afford him but Monaco don't have any fans.

England - Utd, City, Chelsea. Would he go to Chelsea with Mourinho in charge? Would he go to Utd where they may not even get CL footy next season and would probably struggle in the CL next year even if they qualified. City where he has several friends from Spain and Argentina?

It boils down to Bayern, PSG or City...

His preference would probably be in that order.

But all those Spaniards and Spanish speakers at City??

He'll be the 5th best player in the world by next year.....would we need the 5th best when we'll have 3 out of the top 5???
