The former Barcelona captain says he expected such an outcome, and the whole mess would have been a strategy from the Argentine, most likely related to the president. Josep Maria Bartomeyou, with whom Messi does not have a good relationship at all.
Gica Popescu: “I think Messi will end his career at Barcelona”
Popescu says that he does not see his departure possible Messi the Manchester city nor in 2021, in the vision of the president of FC Viitorul, are there chances that the Catalans will end their career at the Camp Nou.
“What did I tell you? I said for the first time that I don’t think he will go away. I think it was his strategy. I think football will end there, in Barcelona.
Or if he leaves, he will go to America or Argentina, to him. I don’t see him at Manchester City or any other team in Europe “said Gica Popescu, for digisport.ro.
Lionel Messi stays in Barcelona
Messi’s decision came at the end of extremely tense days between his father and his agent. George and the president of Barcelona, Josep Maria Bartomeu. The Argentine insisted on releasing his contract, but both the directors of the Catalan club and La Liga told him that he has an active termination clause, valued at 700 million euros.
In this way, the Argentine footballer, who won the Ballon d’Or six times, wanted to avoid a sad farewell to the only club in which he has played so far, but also any legal problem that could have arisen in the event of a Transfer without the consent of the Catalans.
“I was sure I could go free, the president always told me that at the end of each season I could decide whether to stay or not. Now it’s based on the fact that I didn’t say that until June 10, when I was fighting for La Liga in the middle of this terrible pandemic, which affected the entire season.
So I decided to stay at the club. I will continue in this club, because the president told me that the only way out is to pay the 700 million euro clause, which is impossible.
There was another option, to have a lawsuit with the club, but I would never go to court against Barcelona, because it is the club that I love and that gave me everything. It’s the club of my life, this is where I made my life. It never occurred to me to do that. “Messi told Goal.

- June 30, 2021 is the date on which the Argentine’s current agreement with FC Barcelona expires
