Already answered about the future of Lionel Messi in Barcelona

KOMPAS.com – It is said that Lionel Messi will last another season at Barcelona.

The decision was made after the two sides met behind closed doors.

The news that Lionel Messi would stay one more season at Barcelona was first reported according to an exclusive report by Spanish media Cuatro.

Cuatro claims to have received an exclusive statement from Lionel Messi’s father, Jorge Messi, when he met with Barcelona president Josep Bartomeu.

Initially, the negotiations between Messi and Bartomeu’s father reached a dead end during a meeting on Wednesday (2/9/2020).

The Barcelona team continues to affirm that it will not sell Lionel Messi for free.

However, negotiations began to soften at the second meeting on Thursday (3/9/2020).

At that moment, Jorge Messi began to consider that his son should stay one more season.

It is believed that the meeting between Messi and Bartomeu’s father this Thursday will be the final decision.

Messi’s decision to stay another season because he wanted to say goodbye to the fans first, before his contract expires.

Jorge Messi will inform his son of the final decision with Barcelona on Thursday (03/09/2020) in the afternoon local time.

Even so, it is also rumored that the meeting between Jorge Messi and Bartomeu this Thursday could lead to other decisions.

Previously, Messi’s father had said that his son would have a difficult time surviving in Barcelona.

However, Lionel Messi has also not communicated with other clubs that have an interest in signing him.

“The future in Barcelona? Difficult. It will be difficult to survive,” said Jorge Messi quoted from Objective.

“I have not spoken with Pep. There is still nothing with City,” he added.

In fact, Lionel Messi is subject to a hefty buyout clause of 700 million euros (12.2 trillion rupees).

That price would make Messi the most expensive player in the world if someone dared to redeem him from Barcelona. (Bagaz Reza Murti)
