Thursday, August 5, the news had the effect of a bomb. FC Barcelona published a press release to announce the end of Lionel Messi’s adventure with the legendary Spanish club: “Despite an agreement between FB Barcelona and Lionel Messi and with the clear intention of both parties to sign a new contract today, it will not be possible to formalize due to economic and structural obstacles“explains the club.
During a press conference given this Sunday, August 8, the six-fold Golden Ball returned to the reasons why he could not extend to Barcelona. “The president explained it, the club is in debt and does not want to go into debt more, La Liga did not allow it either, it was useless to insist if it was impossible (…) I offered to cut my salary by 50%, we did everything we could, lies were told, but it was impossible. We did everything we could“, he assured. Despite his explanations, the 34-year-old could not restrain his emotion and his tears.
Now, this prodigy of the round ball is strongly expected to sign for Paris Saint Germain where he would meet his friends Neymar and Angel Di Maria. Some Argentinian media suggest that Lionel Messi could even spend his medical examination with the Parisian club in the evening. But a sentimental story could disrupt or even pose a problem for his signature … Because a certain Mauro Icardi is already part of the Parisian workforce. And this one is in a relationship with the sulphurous Wanda Nara. Except that the latter was in the past the wife of Maxi Lopez, a great friend of Lionel Messi … and Mauro Icardi. But the friendship was obviously not an obstacle for Wanda Nara and Mauro Icardi who fell in love, thus breaking the heart of Maxi Lopez passed by FC Barcelona. Since then, relations are inevitably strained and the Argentinian media affirm that Lionel Messi would hardly carry in his heart Mauro Icardi, responsible in his eyes for having betrayed his friend. Will this sitcom-worthy love triangle prevent Lionel Messi from signing to PSG? Answer very soon …
