Lionel Messi has been in the focus of the news this week, from the blessed burofax that he sent to the FC Barcelona offices, where he made it clear to the club president, Josep María Bartomeu, that he wants to leave the team.
This Friday, in addition, La Pulga requested a formal meeting with the regents of the Blaugrana cast to reach an agreement and remain with the pass in their possession, in order to be able to go to any other team in the world.
However, the Catalan leadership, led by Bartomeu, slammed the door on the Argentine and will not sit down to negotiate for his departure, according to information published by Sport.
“Bartomeu will only sit down to negotiate with Messi if it is to renew him,” the note is titled, where they tell of the tremendous conflict that arises over the idea of the scorer to change teams.
“The president of FC Barcelona Josep Maria Bartomeu will only sit down with Leo Messi to talk about his renewal, and not about his possible exit from the Camp Nou. The club continues to consider that the still Barça captain should be the leader of the new sports project that Ronald Koeman is going to direct and that will be released from August 30, and therefore a future is not planned without the genius of Rosario “, assures the publication of the Catalan media.
