Why have both Messi and Barcelona been so aggressive thus far? What happens if Messi just walks away now and signs for Man City? Would City be prepared to risk a transfer ban if they signed him without a settlement from Barca? And what will be the breaking point for both sides that could lead them to the negotiating table?
