At eight in the afternoon the station RAC1 advanced the main conclusion of the long-awaited meeting that Ronald Koeman had held, the new coach of FC Barcelona, and Leo Messi, the star and captain of the team. The headline confirmed the worst fears of Barcelona fans: “Messi has communicated to Koeman that he is not clear about his future at Barça. The player has assured him that right now he looks more outside than inside the club but is aware of the difficulties he will have to leave due to his contractual conditions”.

Before this news all the newsrooms of Catalunya and the world got in touch with the environment of Messi and the FC itself Barcelona to contrast the same and the answer they found came to confirm by omission the news advanced by the Catalan station.

From the surroundings of Messi it was recognized that the meeting had taken place and the information was not denied in any degree. How it happened from the moment when, after losing 2-8 to Bayern Munich, Brazilian journalist Marcelo Bechler from Esporte Interactivo de Brasil said that Messi's idea was to leave Barça as soon as possible without waiting for the end of his contract, from the Argentine player's environment it was preferred not to deny.

On the other hand, the Barcelona, in obvious shock was limited to remembering that the player has a contract in force and they assured that the entity was not going to make any assessment of the meeting between the coach and the Argentine.

On Wednesday at his presentation as Barcelona's new coach Koeman was asked about Messi and the rumors surrounding his doubts to continue. The Dutchman acknowledged that wanted to talk to him, but specified that he did not know if he had to convince him. He just said that “I hope Messi will continue for many years at Barcelona because he is a player who wins you games “, but he also added that “I want to know what you think of Barça, what you think of how you want to continue. And then I am the one who has to make decisions. But, once again, Messi has a one-year contract. But he is such an important player. that any team wants it. ” And he concluded by saying that “I only want players who want to be here”.

Well it seems that Koeman already knows what Messi thinks, now the question is whether the Dutch coach is going to dedicate his effort to motivate him and make him see that he has to come back or remind him that he has a contract and that if he wants to go he has to come with an offer that allows a team to be rebuilt in the face of a season that is just around the corner.
