The football world was very expectant about the meeting between the leaders of FC Barcelona and the father of Lionel Messi, Jorge, because the future of the player could be defined. However, despite talking for about an hour and a half, it ended without reaching any agreement.
According to Mundo Deportivo “in an atmosphere of cordiality, very good harmony and without tension, the president Josep Maria Bartomeu has been accompanied by manager Javier Bordas in a summit of an hour and a half in a facility of the Barcelona entity with Jorge Messi, player’s father, his brother Rodrigo and the lawyer of the law firm Cuatrecasas Jorge Pecourt ”.
Messi’s father arrived in Barcelona on Wednesday and already held the first meeting to force the Argentine to leave.
“Bartomeu has been forceful in his arguments without moving from his position referring to the contract until 2021 and the termination clause of 700 million euros. The president has told Messi’s father that he wants him to stay, since he has him as the capital figure of the project of Ronald Koeman, has insisted that the two-year renewal offer is still in place with the idea that he hangs up his boots at the Camp Nou and that in no case will he negotiate the departure of Leo ”, they add.
For its part, as reported by Sport “Jorge Messi asked to leave with the freedom letter claiming the clause that has been talked about in recent weeks by which Messi could leave Barça for free. Neither of them was able to convince the other and the two parties still disagree ”.
In this way, it is expected that in the coming days they will meet again to reach an agreement or that, definitely, Messi will go to the FIFA to request a provisional transfer and play for a new club. The only problem is that Manchester City, the only interested club, is not willing to assume the risk that later a Barcelona Social Court fixes a transfer price in the future that is unaffordable. The soap opera on the future of the Argentine will continue.
