Jorge Messi has confirmed that his son will almost certainly leave Barcelona this summer.
Lionel Messi’s agent and father said it was difficult for the Argentine superstar to stay in Barcelona.
This further spurred the news of his move to Manchester City, although his father also confirmed that there had been no deal with the wealthy English club.
As is known, Messi shocked the football world last week by asking Barcelona to sell him this summer. He is targeting one of the clauses in his contract, which allows him to be released even though he still has a contract until 2021.
Several clubs are interested in signing him, such as Paris Saint-Germain to Juventus, but Man City seems to be the most ideal target. The former coach of Messi at Barça who now runs City, Pep Guardiola, would be in contact with Messi after the news.
Signs of Messi’s departure have intensified after Barcelona’s medical assistance was lost and he also did not appear at preseason training last week.
Jorge Messi arrived in Barcelona on Wednesday (9/2) to find the best solution to his son’s situation.
“The future in Barcelona? Difficult. It will be difficult to survive,” Jorge said. The beach bar shortly after arriving in Barcelona
Asked about City’s interest, Jorge replied: “I have not spoken with Pep. There is still no agreement with City.”
Messi’s departure will mark the end of an era in Barcelona. He has strengthened the Spanish giants throughout his career in which he has become one of the best footballers of all time.
Mess, 33, has packed 634 goals and 285 help of 731 games with Barça. He was also able to win 33 titles, including four Champions League titles and ten Spanish La Liga titles.
