The mother of all meetings and one that can have a decisive impact on the future of the club is about to occur. According to the Argentine channel, TyC, forward Leo Messi plans to interrupt his vacation in the Pyrenean town of La Cerdanya in the next few hours to meet in Barcelona with the new coach Ronald Koeman. A momentous meeting for the future of the club, Especially after the latest information that suggested that Leo would be seriously considering the possibility of leaving the club this summer after the humiliation inflicted by Bayern in Lisbon.
Koeman himself announced in his presentation that his priority was to meet with the captain to learn first-hand about his wishes and concerns. He confirmed that his project means that Messi is the cornerstone of the project, but also dropped that he only wants players who “want to continue here.”
It will be in this meeting where Messi responds to him what his feelings and thoughts are for next season. There is no doubt that a tense meeting is presented, since Leo is a person of few words, but forceful and resounding.
We must not forget that Leo has been these days in his Pyrenean refuge accompanied by the families of Luis Suárez and Jordi Alba, his hard core in the dressing room and that they sound like candidates to be part of the 'purge' that the club is preparing. There is no doubt that this situation should not be to the liking of Leo either, who could start this new project that Koeman starts without the presence of two of his best friends in the locker room.
The meeting with Messi has been encouraged by the president himself Josep Maria Bartomeu, who wants to solve this folder as soon as possible, aware that the future of the club depends largely on the continuity or not of Leo.
