Bartomeu will step down as president of Barcelona if Messi publicly chooses to stay: ok ball

PRESIDENT BARCELONA, Josep Maria Bartomeu will immediately resign from his post with conditions for Lionel Messi to make a statement in public.

Journalist who operates in Catalan, Alfredo Martinez claims Bartomeu will be willing to resign, if Messi states that he chooses to stay in Barcelona in openly.

Martinez’s report also stated that Bartomeu had contacted Messi via telephone to discuss the future of the 33-year-old player. Even the president asked to meet with Messi, but was rejected by La Pulga (the Flea), Messi’s nickname.

The Catalan giant superstar wants to change his uniform because of Barcelona’s poor achievements in the 2019-2020 season. He was annoyed that Barcelona failed to win the Copa del Rey (Spanish King’s Cup) after being defeated by Athletic Bilbao in the semifinals.

The Blaugrana are also unable to compete with their eternal rivals Real Madrid in the race for the Spanish La Liga champions by five points.

However, the most embarrassing one was also painful, Barcelona was devastated by Bayern Munich with a score of 8-2 in the 2019-2020 Champions League quarter-finals.

Messi is even more annoyed because the management wants to let Luis Suarez, one of his closest players, be at Barca. He was also furious at the leak of Ronald Koeman’s conversation with him.

If Messi did leave, the person who was judged the most responsible would be Bartomeu.

Bartomeu became President of Barcelona for the 2015–2021 period, following the resignation of Sandro Rosell, who was hit by the embezzlement scandal of Neymar Jr.

Messi still has a contract until next June with Barcelona. However, in one clause he can terminate the contract at the end of the season, which means he can leave Barca on a free transfer.

The football season usually ends in June. It’s just that due to the corona virus pandemic, the 2019-2020 football season has ended in reverse. Messi’s lawyers assess the football season ends after the 2019-2020 Champions League final on March 23, 2020 local time.

While Barcelona are adamant that Messi’s contract termination clause has expired. The club management also asked Messi or the club who wanted him to pay 200 million euros (approximately Rp. 12 trillion) to make up for the clause for the release of the 33-year-old player.
