A protracted legal battle is a possibility unless both parties reach some kind of agreement. Messi’s termination clause has an astronomical value of 700 million euros, which according to the league is still valid.
Meanwhile, Messi has submitted his transfer request. Although Barcelona officials are doing their best to change his mind, if Messi decides to go ahead with his decision to leave the club, he will play for a new club at some point or another.
So which clubs could Mesi and his father Jorge, who is also his agent, consider?
Here are four clubs where you might or might not see Messi next. The truth is that Messi at any other club apart from Barcelona is unfathomable, but the end of the Messi era at Barcelona could be just around the corner if a compromise is not reached.
Manchester city (EPL)
The favorites reported. It makes sense that Messi would consider moving to England to play for Manchester City mainly because that would mean a reunion with Pep Guardiola. The Messi-Pep combination helped Barcelona win all possible trophies. Guardiola, who in his first season as coach of the first team won the La Liga, Copa del Rey and Champions League treble, becoming the youngest coach to win the European title, is highly valued by most of Barcelona’s elders and he won a total of 14 trophies in his 4 years with Barcelona’s first team (2008-2012), which is still a record. It’s no secret that Messi and Guardiola get along and respect each other a lot. A trade to City will also give Messi a chance to win potential EPL and Champions League titles. The city, of course, has the funds. However, according to certain reports, Guardiola has apparently asked Messi to stay at Barcelona.
Paris saint germain (League 1)
PSG have been known to give the go-ahead for costly transfers and deals, especially to keep their dreams of winning their first UEFA Champions League title alive. If Messi goes to France and joins PSG, it would mean that he is reunited with Neymar. The Messi-Neymar-Mbappé trio would be a romantic’s dream come true. Messi and Neymar had a successful partnership with Luis Enrique in Barcelona. PSG have the resources, but they also have multiple attacking options on their roster. Also, would the goal of winning Ligue 1 really motivate Messi? Perhaps the opportunity to lead PSG to the Champions League title, something that no star player has achieved so far can tempt the Argentine.
Bayern Munich (Bundesliga)
Bayern are at the top of their game. Without a doubt, they are the best club in Germany and they have the resources. If Messi decides to go to Germany, it is obvious that Bayern is the club he will consider. It will give you a chance to win not only the Bundesliga but also the Champions League, something Barcelona have not managed to do since 2015. However, Bayern already have some great attacking options like Thomas Muller and Robert Lewandowski, both in their 30 years. Will they want another attack option in Messi, who is 33 years old, and then redesign the team? But then can anyone really say no to the signing of Lionel Messi as long as a whole host of other things fit in?
United manchester (EPL)
The choice of a romantic. Possibly one of the most important soccer brands. If it is not City, Messi could consider going to a club where he will undoubtedly be the best player. United may want to bring in an experienced attacking player. Signing Messi could give the club the opportunity to craft its strategies around him as they attempt to win the Premier League for the first time since the 2012-13 season and also, of course, give Messi the platform to lead the Red Devils. to new heights. .
Meanwhile, Inter Milan is another club Messi is linked to and the Italian team makes it to the world bookmakers list about where Mesi will move next. However, Inter Milan’s sporting director Piero Ausilio was recently quoted as saying: “I don’t know where some ideas might come from. No coach, no president would not want Messi in their team. But the reality is very different. Our reality”. it’s a sensible transfer market. ”
The Italian transfer window officially opened on Tuesday.
