Representative who brought Lionel Messi to Barcelona: “There is a 90% chance that he will continue at the club”

The novel of the moment between Lionel Messi and FC Barcelona added a new chapter this afternoon. Despite the fact that La Pulga presented a burofax in which he informed his decision not to continue at the club, taking advantage of the clause that allows him to go free at the end of each season, the future of the Argentinean looks more blaugrana than it seemed.

This is because the Barça leadership made it clear to La Pulga that the date on which you could avail yourself of that clause, June 10, had expired and that therefore, if he wanted to leave the club he had to pay the 700 million of its clause rescission.

According to Sport, Messi and his advisers understood that since the season had been extended until mid-August as a result of the global coronavirus pandemic, the date moved to August 31. However, this was not the case and the dates were kept.

On this, the representative who took Messi to Barcelona at 13, Josep María Minguella, assured that the Argentine’s lawyers “they jumped into the pool. Someone suggested that with the delay of the championship the dates changed, but with the passage of time there are contacts between the two lawyers and today Leo’s office is not so clear about the situation“.

Furthermore, Minguella was emphatic in emphasizing that “there is a 90 percent chance that Messi will continue at Barça. The interpretation of the clause limits that no institution takes a step forward to buy a player saying that he is free, that one day he will have the legal threat that he will have to pay from one euro to 700 million. Federatively it is not easy. “

“FIFA, if there is a conflict, would give the player the possibility to play with his new club, but Barcelona could denounce the player for duplication of contracts. With duplicate contracts, if Messi starts to play with another team, and Barça claims , Messi’s career would be paralyzed. This makes interested clubs think about the mess they can get“he added on his YouTube channel.

Finally, the agent assured that Messi’s decision to leave Barça was taken long before the defeat suffered by Bayern Munich: “Six months ago he practically broke any possibility of rapprochement or renewal and announced it to the club. I knew that I was not going to negotiate, that I was tired of lies“.
