Although he told the club he wanted to leave, a current at Barcelona believes Messi could change his mind if Bartomeu resigns immediately.
– It would be a lack of respect for the club, which has 120 years of history. I don’t think Leo is going to say clearly: “You (Bartomeu) leave and I’ll stay.”
– Leo is very educated, very well prepared, he values many things in this club, which gave everything, and Leo also gave everything to this club. Out of respect for the jersey and the shield, I don’t think it will come to this circumstance – said the Bulgarian idol on the program “Mission Europe“.
After the shameful elimination in the Champions League, with a he thrashed 8-2 for Bayern Munich, Bartomeu announced a series of profound changes at the club. Among them was call new elections for March next year. The Barça fans, however, demanded immediate resignation after Messi announced his wish to leave last Tuesday.
For Stoichkov, the immediate resignation of Bartomeu is just one of the “drastic changes” that Barcelona needs. The former player criticized the 500 million euros in reinforcements in recent years, without result in the field.

– It’s at the bottom, there is no other word we can say. The bottom has already been reached. There are many things that have to change, starting with the president, who has to resign today, and call new elections – he said, citing the other changes he expects in the club:
– Many players, surely after what we heard from Piqué, that offered to leave if guilty. The sporting director (Eric Abidal) also has to go. How many Barça players in the last five, six years have they left, and where are they playing and how they are, all indisputable players. We spend 500 million euros and the players do not play.
