Rumors about the renovation of Lionel Messi with Barcelona they are the order of the day. That everything is arranged to continue for two more years, that only the announcement and the signature are missing, that there are still details to be resolved, are the variants that are heard these days. “The concrete thing is that if Messi gives priority to sports over economics and to win Champions instead of LaLiga, must leave Barcelona, ”he said. Hernan Pereyra in this Wednesday’s edition of his podcast ‘It’s so and that’s it’.
“In little more than a week, the Argentine will become a free player and will have the possibility of signing with the team he wants: it could be Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City to name a few. And if he asked me what he should do, my answer would be very clear: You shouldn’t continue at Barcelona and you have to go to another team, ”he emphasized in an ESPN analyst.
Pereyra later revealed the reasons that lead him to think that way, stating that “if he wants the money over the titles, then he can stay in the culé institution. But I have no doubts that his priority list is to keep winning, especially tournaments like the Champions League. So we have to recognize that Barcelona gives him little chance of winning the most prestigious tournament in Europe ”.
The driver of ‘It’s so and that’s it’, also recognized that “teams like the one Pep Guardiola or own Mauricio Pochettino they offer you more possibilities to rise above the European competition. And that’s where Messi has to decide to find the team that will make it possible for him to win the Champions League. With Barcelona you can win the League or the Copa del Rey or the two tournaments, in the long run, what will mark Messi and Barcelona’s season is what they do in the Champions League ”.
“Barcelona has already dominated LaLiga. But the difference is made by the Champions and for that to be achieved you have to have a competitive team and a great coach. Today Barcelona lacks both ”, declared Pereyra. “The defense is not very good, the reinforcements arrive more by dismissal than by anything else, such as Sergio Aguero, for example. Inclusive Memphis Depay He is not a player who can be considered a star even if he is going to enhance the squad. The problem is that there is no money in the club to form a competitive team, “he added.

Mauricio Pedroza and Richard Méndez agree that the Spanish league will have to be flexible with some salary cap rules in order to keep Messi.

Later he explained that, given the difficult economic situation of the club, Barcelona needs to be able to lower the salary quota it has to be able to renew Messi. Today there is no room for him to renew Messi, therefore if he wants his captain he will have to part with other players. In other words, they have to deal with what there is, and with what there is, it is not enough to win the Champions League ”.
The analysis of this situation continued with Pereyra focusing on the campaign of Ronald Koeman of whom he maintained that “he failed in the important moments of last season, he could not beat Atlético de Madrid or Real Madrid, he lost to Spanish Super Cup and when he had the League served, he did not take advantage of it. So we can’t find a technician in Koeman who can provide solutions ”.
Finally, he maintained that the news of Barcelona indicates that it has a diminished squad. With a coach who gives advantages and with serious problems in the club’s economy that threaten the possibility of putting together a squad that is at the same level as that Barcelona that knew how to win everything.
“If Messi goes to Manchester City, he will form a great team that has been growing. PSG also offers him a similar situation: that of being candidates to win the Champions League. That is why Messi must leave Barcelona because his chances of winning the Champions League with the team of almost all his life are very few. You are in need of making the most important decision of your career. And if he stays in Barcelona, he will take the wrong path, because he will very surely not raise an Orejona again as he did in the past ”, he concluded.
Note: the edition of ‘It’s So and Period ‘, also includes the opinion of Pereyra about what is happening in the America Cup and in the Euro.
