Messi will not play for Barcelona anymore!

Argentina national team captain and leader Lionel Messi will not enter the pitch in Barcelona jersey anymore! The club has said goodbye to the legend.

For the past six weeks we witnessed how Barcelona tried settle financial fair play and footballers’ salaries. Constant theories were built around who would be the victim of Messi's reunification with Barcelona and leave the club for the Argentine.

Even the La Liga president, Javier Tebas, made concessions to the Catalans and agreed to sell 10% of the tournament's shares so that Barca would receive an extra 270 million euros. But even this did not save the situation. Leo officially left Barcelona and the club wrote about it on their website,

“Despite club and player reaching an agreement and their clear intention to sign a new contract today, this cannot happen because of financial and structural obstacles

As a result of this situation, Messi shall not be staying on at FC Barcelona. Both parties deeply regret that the wishes of the player and the club will ultimately not be fulfilled. FC Barcelona wholeheartedly expresses its gratitude to the player for his contribution to the aggrandisement of the club and wishes him all the very best for the future in his personal and professional life”, the statement says.

It is difficult to predict in which direction the compass of the Argentine alien will lead. Of course, there are options with MLS, PSG or Manchester City, which can turn Jack Grealish around and send back him to Aston Villa, even though they spent 108 million euros on Bailey, Ings and Buendía. But the main thing is not where he will continue to play, but that an entire era is leaving Barcelona!

Messi was in the club structure since 2000. He started playing for the first team in 2003. Together with the club, he won ten Spanish league titles, seven Spanish Cups and Super Cups, as well as four Champions League cups. It is difficult to overestimate the forward’s contribution to the history of Barcelona and his final departure is a rainy day on every Catalan fan's calendar!
