Before the supposed meeting with the Barça foundations, Lionel Messi’s father and agent did a brief interview with the newspaper Deportes Cuatro. There he affirms that it seems difficult for the soccer star to continue at the club.
– Is it difficult to stay? asked the reporter who knew Jorge Messi.
– Yes, was the response of the agent father.
Messi, 33, has said he wants to leave Barcelona after 19 years at the club. Spanish media write that the father will meet with the club on Wednesday afternoon to clarify what happens next with one of the best footballers in the world.
Messi hasn’t been looking at Barcelona’s training ground in recent days. The club’s president, Josep Bartomeu, has said that he will do everything in his power to keep the Argentine at the club.
Reject City negotiations
The hottest rumor is that Manchester City is at the forefront of the queue of clubs that want to secure Messi’s signature. In that case, he will meet up with his former coach Josep “Pep” Guardiola. However, the father claims that there have been no negotiations with City.
– I don’t know, there’s nothing there. I have not spoken with Pep. No, with no one.
– How do you see the future in Barcelona?
– Difficult, difficult.
Messi is said to have announced that he wants to activate a clause in the contract that allows him to leave Barcelona for free this summer. The club’s management at the Camp Nou, for its part, refers to the fact that the right to use the clause expired on June 10.
Clause debate
The management of Barcelona has also declared that the clubs that want to bring Messi, will have to activate the clause of rescission of the Argentine of the staggering amount of 700 million euros.
Recently, the management of the Spanish league sent a press release in which it supported Barcelona in the discussion about the validity of the termination clause. La Liga management believes that it still applies.
Barcelona has stated that it is not desirable to negotiate with Messi an exit from the club. At Camp Nou, you should only be interested in talking to the Argentine about a new and extended contract.
The club’s management has indicated that it will meet with Messi in an attempt to change his mind about the future.
