Lionel Messi, who is determined to change clubs, did not participate, as expected, in FC Barcelona’s first training session in preparation for the new season. Neo-coach Ronald Koeman led his first session Monday night. In addition to Messi, midfielder Ivan Rakitic was also missing, whose return to Sevilla FC should be perfect.

If Messi, 33, now skips training scheduled for Tuesday morning, he would be guilty of a serious breach of contract, according to media reports. Under Spanish labor law, unjustified absence from work for three days in a row can be punished with a fine of 25 percent of the monthly salary, as specialized newspapers wrote.
Poll shows aversion to Messi’s behavior
His “rise” could also cost Messi the love of the Barça fans. In an online poll conducted Monday by the Catalan sports daily “Mundo Deportivo”, almost 78 percent of the more than 36,000 participants said they could not approve of the Argentine’s behavior. The conflict over Messi escalated on Sunday.
The practitioner initially stayed away from the mandatory crown tests. A little later, the Spanish professional league announced that the world star could not go out for free against his will. In the forward’s contract, valid until June 2021, a replacement clause is anchored, which remains in force.
