Messi shuffles backtracking and staying at Barcelona

Lhe situation of Leo Messi at Barcelona could undergo a radical turn in the next few hours. If a few days ago the footballer asked by burofax to leave the Barça club under the release clause that was in his contract, at this moment he is seriously considering going back and continuing one more year at the Camp Nou.The reason is Barcelona’s inflexible stance to sell the player. This is how Josep Maria Bartomeu transmitted it to the footballer’s father on Wednesday at the meeting held at the club’s facilities. The president does not give his arm to twist and the only choice left to the player was to go to court to terminate his contract. This route was neither liked by Leo nor by the suiting clubs.Messi does not want to leave Barcelona badly. He has already seen what has happened with his friend Neymar and he does not want to leave the club that has been his whole life. He considers that he has the legal reason for what his lawyers explain to him, but to activate the exit life he has to denounce the contract and that entails a legal litigation. Messi wanted an agreed exit, not by force .City and PSG, cautiousAnd the clubs that would be interested in signing him do not want to risk a resolution in the courts that in the future could go against him. It should not be forgotten that the player’s termination clause is 700 million euros. Both City and Paris Sant Germain wanted the Argentine to agree to a peaceful exit with his club and to be able to negotiate with him once he had the freedom letter in his possession . But it will not be like that because Bartomeu is very clear that he is not going to give it to him. It remains firm in its position to demand the termination clause.What the president did offer him is the opportunity to renew his contract until 2022 under the terms that had been discussed a few months ago. Two more years, but with a release clause so that he can leave Barcelona next summer if he so wishes.

This was the subject that was discussed in the meeting that Jorge Messi had with his son at noon yesterday. Previously, the footballer’s father attended to a series of matters and then went to Leo’s home just before eating. Both met for more than an hour in which they discussed this issue.Go to trainingThere is no definitive solution yet, but what seemed impossible a few days ago may now be taking shape. Messi was totally determined to leave the Barça club , tired of everything that has happened at the club in recent years and sore from the 8-2 against Bayern. That is why he asked for his departure by burofax and decided not to go to training. In fact, that is an issue that you will have to see how you solve it. The team had a holiday yesterday, but today, Friday it returns to training. If Leo is really reconsidering his decision and is really considering staying at Barcelona, ​​he could return to training at any time. He has not trained for almost a week now because the rest of his teammates passed the PCR tests on Sunday and on Monday they had their first session.Another issue that remains pending is his appearance before the media. Messi has not made statements in all this time . Only his father said a couple of broken sentences at the airport and when leaving his home, but not Leo. After everything that has happened, the fans want to know what the footballer really thinks. And Leo also knows that he will have to speak to the media.
