The businessman Jordi Fari presented a request for “withdrawal of trust” to Bartomeu and his management on August 26, after the Argentine star Lionel Messi announced, via fax, that he wanted to leave the club and activate the clause that allows him to unilaterally cancel his contract with Barcelona.
