Barcelona no longer harbor hopes of being able to keep their superstar Lionel Messi after the end of the season, reports the Daily Mirror.
The Argentine was about to leave the “Camp Nou” in the summer and even requested a transfer, but was not respected by the management of Barça, and Messi reconsidered his decision to sue the club where he spent his entire career. However, his contract expires at the end of the season and Barcelona will be powerless to prevent the departure of their best player.
Barça manager Ronald Coeman has been happy with Messi’s dedication since the start of the season, but everyone at the club has agreed that this campaign will be the 33-year-old’s last.
“I always had the hope that Messi would stay this season. If he had left in the summer, I would have found myself in a very difficult situation at Barça. I wanted to leave, but the club took a very clear position. The size of the clause for termination was very high. that no club in the world would pay for it today, “said Kuman.
Manchester City remain favorites to sign the star, but a key factor in the transfer is the continued cooperation of the “citizens” with manager Pep Guardiola, whose contract also expires at the end of the season.
