As reported Sports world this Sunday, the expected summit between Josep Maria Bartomeu, president of Barça, and Jorge Messi, father of the player, could take place this Wednesday. Although the situation is tense, La Vanguardia reported this Sunday that Bartomeu and Messi father maintain telephone contact. Through it, it was decided to set a meeting for midweek in order to resolve the future of the Barça captain, who wants to leave the club as confirmed through the burofax.
The agreement, however, will not be easy. Messi wants an agreed exit and, you can imagine, with money involved when you reach an agreement with the club where you will play, presumably the Manchester City according to various information. But Bartomeu does not want to hear anything about the agreed exit and refers to the clause of 700 million euros that according to Barça, reinforced by LaLiga in a statement, continues to be valid. It is more, according to Sports world, Bartomeu, perhaps by continuing the bluff on the play, wants to sit down with Messi's father to resume renewal talks that the same player stopped a few months ago. The long week also feels like a soap opera in Barcelona.
