After several days of speculation about the future of La Pulga, the main protagonist is finally getting ready to speak. His lawyers are preparing an official statement that is expected to be released later in the day.
The soap opera Lionel Messi (33 years) crystallizes the attention of the football world for several days now. Since the official announcement of his desire to leave FC Barcelona, the twists and turns are multiplying. Recently, Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain were studying the feasibility of a pharaonic operation to snatch La Pulga from Barca.
But the summit interview between Jorge Messi, the player’s father and representative, and Josep Maria Bartomeu did not result in any agreement. The president of the Blaugranas has been adamant on the subject: Messi will not leave if the release clause of 700 million euros is not paid by the future acquiring club.
Lionel Messi’s decision announced in the next few hours?
Faced with the firmness of the Catalan high levels on this issue, Messi would consider honouring his final year of contract at FC Barcelona. At the same time, La Liga had also stepped up to the plate on the subject by reminding Lionel Messi (33 years) of his contractual obligations. On 30 August, La Liga decided to bang their fists on the table via a statement stating that the Argentine star would have to pay his release clause to leave Barca.
Aware of the arguments distilled by the Spanish body, the Messi clan will react. According to information from Cadena SER, the lawyers of the Argentine international are preparing a response to the La Liga statement in the coming hours. Some Spanish media such as Sports even point out that this future release could announce the final decision of the main protagonist to stay at FC Barcelona next season. Would we get closer to the denouement of the Lionel Messi soap opera? Answer in the next few hours.
