Report: Messi can leave Barcelona for free, with one condition

Reuters ALBERT GEA

A Spanish press report said on Sunday there is a condition that allows Argentine star Lionel Messi, Barcelona captain, to leave the Catalan club for free during the current summer transfer period.

The Spanish radio “Onda Siro” revealed some details of Messi’s contract with Barcelona, ​​after the Spanish League issued an official statement on Sunday, confirming that Messi will not leave Barcelona except by paying the penalty clause of his contract , which amounts to 700 million euros.

According to Spanish radio, Messi’s contract with Barcelona includes a clause that establishes that “the penalty clause will not apply to the start if Messi himself announces his unilateral departure from the end of the 2019-2020 season.”

Messi presented last Tuesday a request to Barcelona to allow him to leave the Catalan club for free this summer, which is rejected by the Barça administration.

The president of the Barça club, Josep Maria Bartomeu, insists on obtaining the value of Messi’s dismissal if the Argentine player insists on leaving the club.

It is noteworthy that Messi’s absence from attending tests to detect the Corona virus today means his absence from attending training sessions, which is a clear indication of the Argentine star’s confidence in the right of his position to leave.
