He really did!
World footballer Lionel Messi, who is determined to change, stayed away from the mandatory crown tests at FC Barcelona. The 33-year-old did not keep his appointment on Sunday at 10:15 a.m., Spanish media reported unanimously.
This means that the Argentine will not be able to participate in the first training session to prepare for the new season on Monday at 5:30 p.m. at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper training center. After the missed test, this is prohibited according to the First Division safety rules.
The conflict reaches a critical point, Suárez to Juve?
The boycott of tests and training exacerbates the conflict between professional and club. The attacker wants to free the runner-up of Catalonia. It is based on a clause that allows you to do this until shortly before the end of a season.
Barça replied that the deadline for this was June 10. According to the contract, which runs until the end of June 2021, Messi should have communicated his will no later than 20 days before the end of the club’s season.
Unlike Messi, the professionals also appeared on Sunday for PCR tests that the club put on the sales list after initial talks with new manager Ronald Koeman.
These include forward Luis Suárez, who is associated with Turin Juventus, Arturo Vidal and Ivan Rakitic, who is said to be on the verge of returning to his former club and Europa League champion Sevilla FC.
