The shocking news that Lionel Messi wants to leave Barcelona was known last week.
Since then we have heard reports of an exchange between the player and the club and it is unlikely that this situation will be resolved anytime soon.
The Argentine superstar wants to terminate his contract, allowing him to leave for free, while Barça is demanding that his € 700 million buyout clause be paid.
As you can probably guess, things are going to get complicated.
Many thought that we would never see the day when Messi would want to leave the Camp Nou. After all, he has been on the senior team for 16 years.
The forward quite personifies Barcelona and the club’s DNA runs through its captain.
But his teammate Arturo Vidal does not blame Messi for wanting to leave.
In fact, the midfielder believes that the club have been disappointing their star in recent years and claims that they only have ’13 professional players’.
“Barcelona has to change its way of thinking,” he told Daniel Habif’s YouTube channel, according to The Independent.
“Football has come a long way and [whole] DNA [thing] He is lagging behind because other teams are improving in other respects.
“Football at the moment is more physical, more dependent on power and speed and the technical aspect is sometimes less important.
“The last three years are not what a team like Barcelona deserves. The best team in the world cannot have 13 professional players. You cannot always win with DNA.”
“[Messi] He is the best in the world, an alien, but he needs help to achieve better results. ”
That’s a pretty brutal assessment from one of Barcelona’s own players. It is clear that the club is in crisis at the moment and is even being criticized by insiders.
You can’t really blame Messi for wanting to leave, can you? He’s probably exhausted after leading a team with only ’13 players’ for the last few seasons.
