Jorge Messi already travels to Barcelona to negotiate the departure of Leo

According to Mundo Deportivo, Jorge Messi, Lionel's father, is already on his way to Barcelona to meet this Wednesday with Josep Maria Bartomeu with the intention of opening avenues of negotiation with Barça, although his initial position is that his son leave the club for free azulgrana. Jorge Messi caught a plane at 12:00 hours in Argentina, 17:00 in Spain.

Barça, meanwhile, maintains its position. He wants the player to continue. It is more, that it renew. He considers it essential in the project to rebuild the squad and will not let it go free. It refers to the termination clause of 700 million euros.

Based on these two antagonistic positions (leaving for free and bravely protected by an interpretation of the release clause, or paying the 700 million set at their departure), the parties can negotiate or simply not reach an agreement. Depending on the scenario that occurs after the meeting, City will or will not go into action. For now, the idea of ​​the citizens is to negotiate with Barça if the Barça club opens the door to negotiation. Otherwise, he would not sign the player for the bravas. The card game continues its course.
