Lionel Messi may be playing a power game, the major Spanish television program El Chiringuito suggests. The goal: the resignation of President Josep Maria Bartomeu at FC Barcelona.
The whole of Barcelona is under the spell of Tuesday’s sensational Messi news: he has submitted a wish to leave. This has since been confirmed by the Barcelona club management. But more and more stories are seeping through that Messi is engaged in a power game, intended to eliminate Bartomeu.
With Messi filing a formal departure wish, all eyes are on Bartomeu. The Argentinian seems really willing to leave Barcelona, but according to El Chiringuito, there is a chance that a political game will be played behind the scenes. Should Bartomeu decide to heed the demand from Barcelona fans and leave, there is a chance Messi will stay.

This would have been Messi’s goal from the first moment, it is suggested. Should this prove to be true, the Argentinian has really pulled out all the stops to get his way. For the time being, it seems that Messi is really going to leave. Photos of the fax Messi sent to Bartomeu are even circulating on social media. There is his wish to leave.
The fans of Barcelona not only have major problems with Barcelona on fire and having to be rebuilt, but above all that this threatens to have to happen without their disgruntled star player. Bartomeu is held responsible for this. He is also held responsible for the first season in twelve years in which no prize was taken.
They will miss it!
This would be the fax that Lionel Messi sent to the board of the #Barça, where he stated that he will not continue in the team. #golecuador pic.twitter.com/xc2MyhtTlX
