Zinedine Zidane hopes Lionel Messi will stay, after he emerged, the Barcelona star could leave the club next year, despite the rivalry between Real Madrid and Barça.
The soccer world was shocked on Thursday night after a report in Spain that Messi would see his contract at Camp Nou and then leave the club at the end of next season.
If it happens, then the Catalan giants could suddenly become a very average side, something that might seem attractive to the manager of his biggest rivals, however, that is not the case.
When asked about Messi’s departure, after Real’s 1-0 win over Getafe on Thursday, Zidane said: “I don’t know what will happen, but we hope not, because he is in this league and we want the best. in this league. “
Messi was expected to sign a new deal, which would have seen him stay with the Spanish champions until 2023, but things have suddenly changed.
According to the Cadena Ser report, the 33-year-old has been upset that he has been blamed for problems at the club that have nothing to do with him.
In the end, the players accepted an incredible 70% pay cut and the club’s all-time top scorer was not happy with the way they treated him at all times.
Problems on the field are also thought to be related to player unhappiness and the club does not have a ‘project for success’.
Standards have certainly been falling on the field and Valverde’s layoff has not helped, with the club lagging behind Los Blancos in the title race.
The confusing thinking about transfers has been evident for several years and Messi was desperate for the club to re-sign Neymar last summer, but instead they chose to sign Antoine Griezmann.
There could still be a chance that the six-time Ballon d’Or winner might change his mind, after all there has been talk that he left the club in the past, but there is a lot of work to be done before that.
