Lionel Messi Odds: 90% Certain To Stay At Barcelona According To Oddsmakers
Lionel Messi Next Club Odds
A few days ago, we reported that it was ‘pick-em’ in the betting markets between staying at Barcelona or moving to Man City for Lionel Messi.
Since then, things have changed one way and then the other.
Just 48 hours ago, Messi hit a low of 1/4 with one UK bookmaker to join Man City in this transfer window. That’s a probability percentage of 80%! This was after Messi had refused to turn up to Barcelona training for medical tests and rumours escalated that he felt he was ‘no longer a Barcelona player’.
After this, his agent and father Jorge Messi met with Barcelona to discuss his son’s future and it appears that Barcelona are holding firm in refusing to let go of Lionel Messi for less than the €700m release clause. This has meant that the betting market switched again, with Messi now at a low of 1/10 (90.9% probability) to stay at Barcelona, while odds for him to move to Man City are 11/2.
