FC Barcelona will (for now) keep their soccer king Lionel Messi, who dived since the 2: 8 debacle against FC Bayern Munich in the soccer Champions League quarter-finals on August 14, spoke yesterday in an interview with goal.com. The 33-year-old announced that he would like to fulfill his contract, which will run until the summer of 2021. Because he has to.
The president of the club, Josep Bartomeu, made it clear that now he could only change if the fixed transfer clause was activated. According to Spanish media reports, this amounts to 700 million euros. “And that is impossible,” Messi said. A week ago, the Spanish league “Barça” was right and confirmed the claim.
“The other option for me was for a judge to solve it. But I would never go to court against Barça because it is the club I love. That has given me everything since I arrived here,” said Messi, who has been at 13 years old. for the Blaugrana kicks.
“The management is a disaster”
Now, after a season without a title, Messi would have been ready for a change of scenery. The leadership of the Barça club gets fat: “The management led by Bartomeu is a disaster.” The length of time that the club chief will remain in office and dignity is questionable.
“El Mundo” reports that the Catalan police have filed charges against the club’s management around Bartomeu on suspicion of corruption. The investigations are related to the “Barcagate” incidents.
Bartomeu is apparently accused of having personally enriched himself with the club’s contracts.
Months ago, the radio station “Cadena Ser” referred to documents that supposedly showed that the club had paid a company that supposedly damaged the public image of some people. Including Lionel Messi and Gerard Piqué, who are said to be Bartomeu’s opponents. The latest revelations allegedly show that Bartomeu paid the company six times the value of the company itself.
Manchester City was ready
Messi is said to have reached an agreement with Manchester City, reports the Catalan newspaper “Sport”. There was talk of a workforce of 250 million euros and a five-year contract that guaranteed a gross salary of 100 million per season. After three years at ManCity, Messi was supposed to move to sister club New York City FC, where his career in America should have ended at 38.
Now Messi has to reconcile with FC Barcelona. For his reluctant word yes, he receives a loyalty bonus of 70.78 million euros. (Alex)
