Toni Freixa (51), a veteran Barça official, has harshly criticized the way soccer star Lionel Messi has submitted his application to move to FC Barcelona. “The fact that Messi is now so unilaterally announcing his change in a written notification and simply does not appear again indicates a deep conflict that both Barça and the player himself put in a bad position,” Freixa said in an interview with Spox and Goal. : “In my opinion, Messi’s behavior is surprising and disappointing.”

However, in purely sporting terms, he was able to understand the 33-year-old Argentine’s desire for change. “Messi is a player who yearns for maximum success. He cannot achieve maximum success alone, he needs a team. He doesn’t have one,” said Freixa, who wants to run for president of the top Catalan club next year. .
Freixa does not believe in a rethinking between the six-time world footballer. “As I have heard from various sectors, the decision in the player has matured for several years and is irrevocable. I do not think there is going back,” he said.
Last week, after 20 years at Barcelona and despite the contract until 2021, Messi had informed the club’s leaders of his desire for change and asked for the working document to be dissolved. The world star and his lawyers are relying on a clause that he could be properly terminated before June 10. Due to the crown crisis and the extended season, this clause is still valid now. On Sunday, Messi had already stopped showing up for the mandatory crown test.
Barça, for their part, believes that the term has expired and refers to the transfer commission of 700 million euros. More recently, the Spanish league was behind Barcelona. The biggest prospect for Messi is English runner-up Manchester City with Messi’s successful coach Pep Guardiola.
