It’s official, Leo Messi and FC Barcelona have decided to part ways in a shocking manner after a tense negotiation. The reality of the entire situation is that the Catalan club’s economy wasn’t strong enough to pay him what he wanted. Last year’s burofax was the initial bomb that the player himself decided to drop. He knew that the club’s situation was incredibly dire and him staying wasn’t helping at all. So, the decision needed to be made today because the clock is ticking for him to find a new club.
In shocking fashion, the club made the decision to announce Lionel Messi’s exit from the club through an official announcement. This is how the Catalan club’s most important player ends a beautiful and fruitful relationship. All the clubs in Europe will scramble to get Messi because he is a free agent and they would only have to agree on a possible salary. PSG, Manchester City, Chelsea, or Manchester United are clubs that could potentially pay him what he wants.
Barcelona’s statement in full.
After the initial report, Barcelona dropped the bomb. They made their best attempt to explain the situation by saying that Messi wanted to stay but the club simply couldn’t find the way to sign him back. The club’s website wrote the following statement: ”Despite FC Barcelona and Lionel Messi having reached an agreement and the clear intention of both parties to sign a new contract today, this cannot happen because of financial and structural obstacles (Spanish Liga regulations).
“As a result of this situation, Messi shall not be staying on at FC Barcelona. Both parties deeply regret that the wishes of the player and the club will ultimately not be fulfilled. FC Barcelona wholeheartedly expresses its gratitude to the player for his contribution to the aggrandizement of the club and wishes him all the very best for the future in his personal and professional life.”
