Lionel Messi has already made his decision to leave Barcelona official and his contacts with clubs interested in his game are also known, such as Manchester City. This Saturday it was also known that he will not appear this Sunday for the covid-19 tests, an issue that would be failing his contract and would have legal problems. Of course, in case Barcelona wins this move and shows that, unlike what Messi thinks, he is still with a current contract.
The Argentine soccer player already informed through a burofax that he will not continue in the Catalan institution, and as a result of that several speculations were opened. What would be the penalties in case of no-show?
All the Barcelona players are scheduled to attend the Ciudad Deportiva on Sunday, including Messi. There they will have to carry out the coronavirus tests to start the first training sessions after the debacle in the Champions League. Initially, and despite his desire to leave, the Flea planned to attend practices to avoid legal problems. If he did not go to training, he would break the internal code of the club and the disciplinary code in the Liga-AFE agreement.
A first absence this Sunday would be considered a minor penalty. Although a new offense as of Monday would toughen sanctions. According to Mundo Deportivo slogan, the scenario would be more serious in the face of “the first and second absence from work, without just cause, not in the case of a match.”
In this case, the regulation stipulates a “suspension of employment and salary for two to ten days.” Economically, the collective agreement (base for the club codes) establishes a fine of up to 7% of the monthly salary.
If Messi’s absence were extended until Tuesday (three consecutive days), the sanction would be very serious. This part provides for the suspension of employment and salary from eleven to thirty days. Inclusive, the fine would already represent 25% of the monthly salary.
The relationship between Messi and President Josep Maria Bartomeu is very deteriorated and both parties are watching each other, especially because there are those who think in the club that Messi’s decision is not irreversible and there is still room for him to continue at the Camp Nou.
Also, sources close to the player maintained that Messi will speak, but it is not yet known when, where or how. Given the impossibility of calling a press conference to avoid crowds, there is speculation with a speech through social networks, but also the granting of an interview to a specific media.
So far, the Argentine has not spoken publicly since the 8-2 suffered against Bayern Munich. In recent days, the only news of the player in the club’s offices was the burofax that he sent to legal services on Monday. In it he communicated his decision to activate the clause that allows him to leave at the end of each season in accordance with the contract he signed in 2017, ends in 2021 and has refused to renew despite the interest of Bartomeu.
