Barcelona’s battle against Lionel Messi saw a new turn, following the intervention of the Spanish League “La Liga”.
And “La Liga” published a statement in which it supported Barcelona’s position, and highlighted the need for Messi to pay 700 million euros – the value of the penalty clause – if he wants to unilaterally terminate his contract.
And the statement of “La Liga” was as follows:
“The contract is currently valid and contains the penalty clause, which must be paid in the event that Lionel Andrés Messi decides to terminate the contract in advance unilaterally, in compliance with article 16 of Royal Decree No. 1006/1985, which regulates the employment relationship of professional athletes “.
In compliance with current regulations, the League will not implement the termination process if the player does not pay said amount in advance.
This comes a few hours after Messi did not appear in the Corona screening test at the clubhouse, in preparation for the start of the new season of preparation for the season tomorrow Monday. (See details)
Radio Cadena Ser, for its part, unleashed a strong surprise last night, Saturday, and stated that Messi has the right to go out for free, since the penalty clause of 700 million euros does not apply to the last year of his contract ( 2020/2021). (See details)
What happened
The biggest crisis of the modern era in the history of Barcelona began on Tuesday, August 25, when Messi sent a fax to the Barça administration informing them of his decision to leave and unilaterally terminate his contract, according to all Spanish and Argentine sources.
For their part, Barcelona insists that Messi’s right to unilaterally terminate the contract expired on June 10.
As for those responsible for managing Messi’s business, they confirm that the decision to unilaterally terminate the contract entitles Liu to the expansion of the brand due to the Corona pandemic.
That was before Spanish broadcaster Cadena Ser indicated that Barcelona responded to Messi with a new fax, who rejected his departure and informed him of their desire to remain at the club until his retirement.
Messi had met with the new Barcelona coach, Ronald Koeman, and the Spanish channel “Quattro” explained that the atmosphere was not good during the meeting.
The report confirmed that Messi was not expecting what he heard from his new manager, and the Argentine star was warned that all the privileges he had obtained in recent years had expired.
This angered Messi and the encounter ended with his inability to respond to his new coach.
And Messi remains one more season in his contract with Barcelona.
