The earth trembles in Barcelona whenever the possibility is suggested that Messi leaves the Barça club, so the news advanced by El Larguero de la Cadena SER that the Argentine has given his father Jorge Messi an order to paralyze the talks for his ninth renovation had an impact in Barcelona. Barça slipped through its unofficial sources that they do not have the information, but who should know it well is Josep Maria Bartomeu, who personally took care of the renovations that Messi signed in 2014 and 2017 respectively, and planned to do the same with it. But Messi is not yet ready to grant Bartomeu his last wish as president, the photo of the Argentine's contract extension. Messi continues to think that the margin for improvement is clearly improvable in the governing bodies of Barça, especially due to the events of this season. Messi was disappointed that the club did not force the machine to sign Neymar (“I don't know if the club did everything to sign him”). Also the ways in which Valverde was fired and Abidal's insinuations, which found a response on the player's Instagram. The disagreement was further exacerbated by talks to reduce the salary during the state of alarm, with a new statement from Messi echoed by all his wardrobe mates. And, finally, Barçagate, with the I3 Ventures case in the lead, a company that created accounts on social networks to erode the image, incredibly, of characters of Messi's dimension.
The latest events, the storm of Balaídos, have lit the wick a little more. Messi wants to wait to renew, a volcanic situation in a club that, except for electoral advance, will elect a new president in the summer of 2021 and that it could condition the race for the presidency, especially if a legend like Xavi, future Barça coach, opted for the candidate Víctor Font.
The possibility that Messi will leave Barça in 2021 begins to encourage news about his future. Newell's vice president, Cristian D'Amico, slipped the possibility of a return to Rosario de Leo: “It is the sole decision of him and his family. We have to have as leaders the best possible context to help them make a decision. When Maradona came to Newell’s (in 1993), nobody thought he could come. Hopefully something like this will happen with Leo. “In the United States, Beckham has been dreaming for years of joining Messi and Suarez in his Miami franchise.
“My idea is to continue and as long as the club and the people continue to want that from me, there will never be any problem,” he said on February 20. At the moment, there are. Messi has ordered to stop.
