Messi admitted that the club’s performance influenced his decision.
Lionel Messiga, Barcelona legend 5 days Declared remaining.
Messi explained that it was “impossible” for any club to pay his termination (minimum transfer fee), and that he did not want to fight Barcelona, so he decided to stay.
On the 26th, Messi sent a fax to the Barça club, requesting the end of the contract.
However, the club refused, saying that it could only transfer it if it paid 700 million euros (about 983 billion won).
‘I don’t want a court fight’
Messi confided in an interview with Goal football magazine that he was “convinced that he could go.”
“I said that (Bartomeu) always had the option to transfer and stay at the end of the season, but the promises were not kept,” he said.
“I told the president that the only way to leave the team is to pay a termination of 700 million euros, which is impossible. I decided to stay.”
Messi also pointed out that the club had not spoken before June 10, and said it had informed him that he could not leave.
“Now, they are holding on to the fact that he had not spoken before June 10. June 10 is when we compete in La Liga for a new coronavirus infection (Corona 19).” Changed “.
“That’s why I’m staying at the club.”
Messi also expressed the opinion that he would like to avoid a fight on the court with the club.
“There is also a way to go to fights on the court, but I will never have a legal fight against Barcelona. It is the club that I love and the club that gave me everything.”
“It is the club of my life, I made my life here. I never thought of suing Barcelona.”
Messi, who spent 20 years in Barcelona, announced that he would like to leave the club 9 days after the 2-8 loss to Bayern Munich in the Champions League of the European Football Federation (UEFA).
After finishing the season without a cup in Barcelona, Cique Settien had toughened up and the former Dutch and Everton national coach Ronald Koeman had been appointed.
Messi admitted that the club’s performance influenced his decision.
He also said that when he told his family that he was going to leave Barcelona, what they saw was “like a cruel drama.”
“The whole family started crying,” he said. “The children did not want to leave Barcelona. They did not want to go to school.”
Messi also said that he loves Barcelona but has the right to decide his own future.
“I wanted to find new goals and new challenges, but I will return to Barcelona tomorrow, because here, in Barcelona, I have everything.”
`Could get uglier in the future`

Messi finally stays. But the end of the story is still far away.
In an interview, Messi made a cruel assessment of the president of Barcelona, Josef Maria Bartomeu.
He said: “The club has done nothing for a long time and has been busy trying to solve problems.”
President Bartomeu’s term ends in March.
However, he will face heavy pressure to resign immediately.
This is because it is difficult to imagine Messi and Bartomeu coexisting in a club with serious personal attacks already underway.
Of course, more important questions await.
Will Messi leave the team as a free agent next summer? If so, will negotiations start in January next year? We do not know.
However, at least in the next few weeks, related topics are likely to make headlines.
At the center of the incident is the newly appointed coach, Ronald Koeman.
He was tasked with rebuilding the club that was practically inoperable due to the trauma caused by the 8-2 disaster against Munich by somehow bringing in the team captain and central players.
Good luck to Ronald.
However, this sorry narrative is not over and it can still get ugly.
