Genuine question: why do you think Barca won't litigate?
Tens of millions of pounds at the very least are at stake.

If we still had Poch...Could you imagine the buzz if we ever got messi... OMG
His argie pals at the club better get on it!!
Force majeure relieves a party from their duty to perform under the contract, but a termination clause with a date of expiry isn't really a performance question.
Like, suppose Spain's season had been canceled like France's and then restarted at the normal date like France did. The force majeure event is the same, but surely that doesn't extend a clause like that into the middle of the next season.
Much depends on the specific language of the contract, what if any formal modifications were made as a result of Covid, and principles of Spanish law (or whatever law is applicable to the contract I guess).
But it's surely a litigatable issue unless for whatever reason filing suit against Lionel Messi is an act FC Barcelona can't bear to undertake for PR reasons.
Messi's suitors have more money than God, it all may very well end with City or PSG making it worth Barca's while to sign away whatever claims they may have.

Oh dear...
We're a third of the way there. Ledley has returned.
Please tell me Gary doherty isn't returning
Messi is too short for Jose, anyway
Surprise Surprise chuck!
Already kind of bored of the Messi saga and it’s only day one.
Doherty has probably told Wolves that he wants to join us and because he has been there since he was very young they will sit down and find the right solution for all parties. Recruiting a replacement is the first step and the Woolwich lad seems to be the chosen one. After that it's down to agreeing a fee with Levy. 12 mill plus add ons was mentioned by Ali Gold, seems low but because of his age and long service to Wolves he might be sold for anything between 15-20 mill, which is reasonable for a right back who Jose will heavily rely on
Worth a quid at the bookies?Messi follows Lo Celso and Lamela on Instagram....
I take it levy charges a handling fee for this.Nah that’s justAirfixx bending over and getting ready for Levy’s great big bald chopper!!!
