New information continues to emerge on Lionel Messi’s situation with FC Barcelona, as this Sunday the Spanish press published the two lines of the trans-Andean contract that are generating the controversy.
As reported Alfredo Martínez from Onda Cero And that the Sport portal replied, the Argentine star’s contract has a paragraph that generates more uncertainty than certainty about his future and that, depending on the point of view, can favor one or the other side.
“This compensation will not apply when the termination of the contract by the unilateral decision of the player takes effect from the end of the 2019/2020 season.”, Says the letter and that generates controversy in Barcelona.
The text, in the first instance, contradicts the version of the painting culé, since does not indicate any June deadline for Messi to have communicated his decision to leave the club. In fact, it is clear that he had to report this at the end of the 2019-20 season, which was after the game of Champions League.
Another point to consider is that, due to the issue of the pandemic, the season should have been extended until mid-August, a contractual situation that not only affected Barcelona, but also several clubs and players around the world. A national case was that of Claudio Bravo, a recent signing from Real Betis, but who extended his link until the end of the Champions League with Manchester City.
In addition, in Spain they point out that Messi’s last contract renewal was for two seasons and an optional third, which for legal purposes the trans-Andean fully complied.
For this reason, La Pulga is requesting his departure from the club, since for his environment he complied with the indications of the contract and notified before the start of the 2020-21 campaign that he wanted to leave the club, a situation that allowed him to leave for free and without having to cancel the clause of 700 million euros.
