Messi communicates to Barcelona that he wants to leave

Argentine star Lionel Andrés Messi has communicated to Fútbol Club Barcelona who wants to leave the club. As the Argentine media TyC has advanced and has reported in Spain Onda Cero, after more than 20 in the team, the player has done so through a burofax sent to the Blaugrana entity, in which he has expressed his desire to execute the clause that you have in your contract by which you can unilaterally leave the club at the end of each season. A clause that allows him to be free for free before June 10, and that he did not exercise at first, but due to the circumstances that have plagued this exercise due to the coronavirus, the footballer requires the possibility of requesting now to be released to be able to go to another club.

However, as the Argentine international did not execute it before that date, Barça automatically gave it up for renewed one more season, until June 30, 2021, and its termination clause became 700 million euros. The club, which has not yet responded to Messi, understands that this is the amount that any team that wants to sign the Argentine star must pay.

He is considered by many to be the best player in the history of football, since expressed doubts about its continuity during the meeting he had face to face last week with Koeman in which he conveyed his full confidence. Messi already warned the coach that he could see more outside than inside and subsequent events seem to have not helped Can Barça.

After the 8-2 that Bayern endorsed him and that left Leo Messi very disappointed, the project that Koeman raises for next year seems that it has not encouraged the player, quite the opposite. The call to Luis Suárez in which Koeman informed him that he did not have him has been the last straw for a glass that has been filling up in recent times, as well as the no place in the team of another of his friends such as Arturo Vidal.

According to Onda Cero, Messi has no intention of attending the PCR tests next Monday as a step prior to the start of training with Ronald Koeman at the helm on Tuesday. It remains to be seen how this setback fits in the Blaugrana club since both Koeman and Bartomeu had their continuity.

Bartomeu «wants to sell Messi»

Joan Laporta, president of Barcelona between 2003 and 2010, has stated on his Twitter account that he suspects that the management of Jose Maria Bartomeu “He wants to sell Messi and that this would be a historical mistake”.

The ex-president has also valued the performance of the board with the Uruguayan forward: “an act of cowardice by the president and a lack of respect for the player having told Luis Suárez by phone that they did not have him for next season” . According to Laporta, “this way of acting is unpresentable and damages the image of the club.” The former Barça president ended his Twitter thread with a “poor Barça in the hands of these incompetent people.”
