Lionel Messi, who is ready to leave, has suffered a setback in the conflict with FC Barcelona. The Spanish professional league gave the club the right in the dispute over a possible transfer. The world footballer cannot leave Spain’s runners-up for free as requested, La Liga announced on Sunday. In the Argentine contract, which runs until June 2021, a replacement clause is anchored, which remains in force, he said.
No authorization for changes without transfer
Therefore, the league will not give the player permission to change clubs if the stipulated amount is not paid in advance. The League does not name the sum, but according to media reports it amounts to 700 million euros.
Messi had previously relied on another clause that allowed him to leave without transfer until shortly before the end of a season. However, Barça had responded that the deadline for this already expired on June 10, which the league has now confirmed “after analyzing the contract”, as he writes. The player should have announced his will at least 20 days before the end of the season.
