  11. Postpublished at 19:46 British Summer Time 27 September 2020

    In case you missed the news this summer, Barcelona's all-time top scorer Lionel Messi attempted to force a move away from the club.

    Messi, 33, submitted a transfer request - claiming he was allowed to leave for free because of a clause in his contract - but Barca said he could not leave for less than his 700m clause.

    He (reluctantly) announced he would stay because nobody would pay that - and he didn't want to take the club to court. He's featured in pre-season friendlies for Barca since.
