At this point, the Argentine has run out of records to beat in the BarcelonaAlthough, since last summer he announced via burofax that he wanted to leave the Catalan club, the only thing that matters to the Catalans is whether or not Messi will continue at the Camp Nou next season, since the contract ends on June 30 and it has not been renewed. The elimination of the Champions League against him Paris Saint Germain It was a hard blow, but the great reaction in the League and the qualification for the Cup final on April 17 have given him back his illusion. Contrary to what was foretold, Ronald Koeman has hit the key and Messi is seen again happy on the field.

The point is that today Messi has no offer from another team, something that, although it may seem strange, is also normal. His signing is especially complex and the club that wants to take the step is missing the most important thing of all: the decision of the ’10’ to leave his lifelong club and a city like Barcelona – although he resides in neighboring Castelldefels – of the one that your children would not like to leave. As confirmed to ‘ESPN’ sources in his environment, Jorge Messi, father and representative of Leo, is still in Argentina, despite the fact that several information suggested that he was already in Europe to study the different alternatives.
It is known that since January 1, Messi has been free to negotiate with another club, although it must inform Barcelona, as stated in the Regulations on the Status and Transfer of FIFA Players. “A club that wishes to conclude a contract with a professional player must communicate its intention to the player’s club in writing before starting negotiations with the player”, reads the third point of article 18, which talks about the special provisions related to contracts between players and clubs.
Manchester City has ruled it out
Much was said at the time of the Manchester City, one of the few teams that could economically cope with the signing of Leo and where the factor Pep Guardiola it has always been very present. However, the reality is that the English club does not plan to face an operation that no one doubts that it would bring him great notoriety, although it could also reduce him sportingly now that he has achieved the football he was looking for. As we reported in El Confidencial, the priority of the ‘citizens’ is to sign a ‘9’ And, given the choice, his favorite is the Norwegian Haaland.
Messi’s other possible destination is PSG, the team in which his friend plays Neymar and directs his compatriot Pochettino. But, right now, the priority of the president of the Parisian club, the Qatari Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, is to close the renewal of Mbappé, who ends his contract in 2022 and continues to delay a renewal that would close the doors of the Real Madrid. Nobody is aware that the French striker is the great goal of Florentino Pérez, although his contractual situation and the financial situation of the Spanish club greatly complicate the operation.

According to Laporta, “Messi is not guided by money, but wants to win the Champions League again.” With a short-term debt of 730 million euros, we have already advanced the plans of the new president here: a downward renewal that serves as an example for the rest of the players and a life contract so that his image is always linked to that of Barça. “I will make a proposal that he can fulfill,” said Laporta, to whom the fact that Leo also does not have any offer will help him when the time comes to sit down to negotiate.
