Earlier this month, Messi complained that Bartomeu failed to fulfill his promise to allow him to unilaterally break the contract and leave the club without charging a transfer fee, and also lashed out at the club’s leadership. But Bartomeu decided not to backfire against Barcelona’s greatest player of all time, instead praising Messi for staying and performing well in his team’s preseason games, including the double. in the 3-1 win over Girona last week.

In compliance with the club’s regulations, Barcelona is currently validating the number of votes and if more than 16,520 votes are approved, a referendum will be held in the next three months, in which if 2/3 of the 150,000 members are Bartomeu it would be degraded immediately. However, Mr. Bartomeu will step down as president after the March elections due to having served two terms.

“The board and I will continue to work to ensure that we have the most competitive team possible. We will speak again after validating the votes, but no one wants to resign at this time. The club will not stop and we will continue working, because there are many problems to solve”, said the president of the Barça club.
Currently, Messi’s contract with Barcelona remains in force until June 2021 with a breakdown clause worth 700 million euros. However, in the January transfer window, the 33-year-old Argentine superstar is free to negotiate with other clubs.
