Messi spoke! That is already a novelty after a couple of weeks of pure speculation, without an official voice being heard. But there were no announcements about its future and the feeling is, rather, that the positions are far from close.
Jorge Messi, the player’s father and agent, published a statement to respond to LaLiga de España, which sided with FC Barcelona in the conflict over the captain’s goodbye. He said, words more, words less, that such a clause of 700 million does not exist.
“We do not know which contract is the one that they have analyzed and what are the bases on which they conclude that the same contract with a ‘termination clause’ applicable in case the player decides to use the unilateral termination of the same, with effect from the end of the 2019/20 sports season … This is due to an obvious mistake on their part, “the statement said.
“It is obvious that the compensation of 700 million foreseen in the previous clause is not applicable at all,” concludes the Argentine.
It means that the official statement that was expected with so much expectation and that, supposedly, would shed light on the player’s future, does not say a line on the subject. In fact, he confirms that Messi thinks about leaving and that he maintains his idea of being able to go out for free at the end of the current season.
Meetings in the office of President Josep Bartomeu, between lawyers and representatives of both parties, are held. But, apparently, there is no approach.
LaLiga responded to Messi
What if there is a concise response from LaLiga to this statement. In a short statement she says that the interpretation of the Argentine environment is “decontextualized” and “far from literalism” and that “LaLiga is reiterated in the statement issued on August 30”.
The organization of the Spanish tournament speaks of the public support it gave to FC Barcelona in the conflict with Messi, in which it states that you cannot go without paying the clause, citing various articles of the regulation.
So, if something was missing from this soup of disagreements, now Messi’s fight with LaLiga is hunted.
