Lionel Messi has notably expressed his frustration at Barcelona within months of seeking a change, insisting that he is fed up with constantly bearing the blame for the club’s troubles.
The Argentine star endured a wildly turbulent summer as he sought to leave the Camp Nou free after becoming increasingly disillusioned with the club’s hierarchy.
Messi was recently criticized by the former agent of his Barcelona teammate Antoine Griezmann, Eric Olhats, who claimed that the Argentine has a ‘deplorable attitude’ and has overseen a ‘regime of terror’ at the Camp Nou.
And after Messi returned to Spain from his duties in Argentina, he was questioned by the media about the claims made by Olhats.
Messi said in a short statement: “I am tired of always being the problem of everything at the club.”
Olhats had claimed that Griezmann was greeted with the star man’s disdain in Barcelona and claims that Messi did everything possible to unsettle the Frenchman.
Olhats also dismissed Messi’s push to leave in the summer, saying it was another way for the forward to exert his power over the club.
Speaking to France Football, Olhats said: ‘Antoine came to a club in difficulties where Messi has a vision for everything.
He is both emperor and monarch, and he did not see Antoine’s arrival with a good eye. His attitude has been deplorable, it made him feel that. I have always heard Antoine say that there is no problem with Messi, but never the other way around. It is the regime of terror. Either you are with him or you are against him.
In my opinion, Messi said he wanted to leave to see what role he still had as a decision-making player, in terms of the players who came and those who left, but he ultimately stayed. Classic Messi!
‘(He is) as good on the field as he is bad off it. Barcelona has been suffering for a while. There was cancer in that club, and obviously it leaves some marks. ‘
Messi could be leaving Barcelona shortly after he decided to take a U-turn in the just-vanished window because the club had blocked his transfer by insisting on demanding that his astronomical buyout clause (£ 625 million) be honored.
Messi was sensationally linked to a reunion with Pep Guardiola at Manchester City last summer and, according to the Sun, the club is ready to revive its interest in him earlier than planned by making a January transfer for the Argentine.
The Premier League team is considering making an offer to sign Messi mid-season for a fee rather than waiting until he becomes a free agent next summer.
The report indicates that an offer of possibly less than 50 million pounds may be tempting enough for the Spanish giants who are resigned to losing the six-time Ballon d’Or winner in just over seven months as a free agent. Barça is currently facing a debt of 440 million pounds.
