According to reports from Argentina, according to the Daily Mail, Lionel Messi now has a ‘90% chance’ of staying in Barcelona this summer.
In a transfer saga that is dominating world football right now, it looks like the little wizard will stick around after all, ending speculation of a move to England and Manchester City.
Since Barca’s humiliating 8-2 defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League, Messi’s future has been talking about the city, and the attacker insists his time at Camp Nou is over.
However, since then there has been serious drama related to his contract, his release clause and whether or not Barcelona will allow him to walk out the door.
La Liga has even gotten involved by siding with the club, highlighting how important Messi is to Spanish soccer and how desperate they are to retain him.
In the latest reports, Messi’s father and agent traveled to Barcelona to speak with the club, where it was reported that he told them that his son will not be seen there next season.
It was reportedly a 90-minute meeting between the club official and Jorge, but it appears to have been beneficial to them as it is now said that Messi could stay.
Daily Mail says that TyC Sports in Argentina believes Messi now has a ‘90% chance ‘of fulfilling his contract in Spain, turning down a trade to Manchester City in the process.
In reality, Messi’s only real possible move was to Pep Guardiola’s side; they’re probably one of the few outfits that could really pay off the superstar.
However, it now appears that he’s willing to back down with his demands and sit still for another season, so he will potentially go free this time next year.
One thing is for sure, this is not the last time we have heard of the Messi saga, but as it stands, and if the reports are to be believed, it stays there.
