BARCELONA – Lionel Messi has stated his intention to leave Barcelona in the summer transfer market 2020. In response to this, Messi’s teammate, Arturo Vidal, was not too surprised.
Vidal actually understands if Messi wants to leave Barca. Because, the player nicknamed La Pulga is considered difficult to be able to boost the team’s performance alone.
It’s no secret that Messi has been very disappointed with the Barca Board of Directors, especially regarding player transfers. Messi’s annoyance began when Barca sold Neymar to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in the 2017 summer transfer market.

In fact, Neymar is an important part of the Blaugrana’s triumphant squad. Sure enough, after Neymar left the club, Barca struggled to achieve success on the European stage, until now.
Unfortunately for Messi, after losing Neymar, Barca failed to bring in a player with the same good performance. Despite spending large sums of money to hook Ousmane Dembele, Philippe Coutinho, to Antoine Griezmann, nothing really shines yet.
In the 2019-2020 season, Messi did seem to have recorded a very good performance. He scored 31 goals and created 26 assists in 44 matches. However, it is proof that La Pulga works alone.
