HE Barcelona Lionel Messi for at least one more season. But the ‘I am’ jersey number 10, announced on Friday (4) after ten days of a miniseries full of comings and goings, will have bad consequences for the club.
That is what the Madrid newspaper Marca says, which listed and detailed four of them this Saturday (5).
They will be even more obstacles in the attempt to rebuild Barcelona, which is trying to rebuild after a lost season without titles The league for him Real Madrid After being ahead of the table, he is embarrassed in the Champions League with an 8-2 mishap suffered by Bayern Munich, a terrible political climate with elections in the offing and, finally, the mess with his biggest idol.
The 4 consequences
1 – No box, therefore more difficult weight reinforcements
The new coronavirus pandemic affected the accounts of all the clubs, this in a year that was already financial austerity for most of them around the world. And Messi’s ‘stay’ means at least 100 million euros spent for Barcelona.
In addition to the Argentine’s salary, the club will not see anything enter its box for the star, as it could happen if he leaves. So, reinforcing the squad with high-quality players, such as Lautaro Martínez, Wijnaldum and Memphis Depay, will be very difficult.
2 – Institutional fracture
Messi announced the ‘stay’ in Barcelona shooting at the management, with a special focus on the president, Josep María Bartomeu. He detonated the agent’s “lack of speech”, who, according to the Argentine, assured him that he would let him go whenever he wanted, and said: “There has been no project or anything for a long time!”
Nothing worse for the environment than the highest commander of the institution, broken with its main protagonist and idol. This will be at least until March 2021, when the club’s elections are held.
3 – Division of the crowd
The episodes that followed in these ten days of ‘horror movies’ may make the crowd also divided in relation to Messi. On the one hand, his unconditional fans, on the other, his detractors, still a minority, but who can increase with a simple bad game by the Argentine.
Messi, ceasing to be untouchable, would never be seen at the Camp Nou.

Ten days after informing the Catalan board that he wanted to leave the Camp Nou, the Argentine returned and revealed this Friday to the Goal website that he will complete his last year of contract at the club, avoiding going to the pitch with Barça.
4 – Costume environment
Messi stays, but some of his teammates and best friends from Barcelona must go, like Luis Suárez, for example. Another of the Argentine supporters that is close to being negotiated is the Chilean Vidal.
The ‘old guard’ Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba would remain.
And the main thing: what will the player’s relationship with Ronald Koeman be like? The new coach has arrived to rebuild the team and end the privileges of a complacent squad, and Messi will be no exception. The relationship between the two can define what Barcelona will be next season.
