It is news that is shaking the football world. Lionel Messi has played in the first team at FC Barcelona for 16 years. Before that, he spent five years in the Catalans youth team. Now is the end. The superstar does not extend and is therefore available for free. The question immediately arises: where is the six-time world footballer going?

On the evening of the shock announcement, a picture of Brazil star Neymar received a lot of attention. On Wednesday, the PSG kicker shared a picture on Instagram showing him with his teammates Angel di Maria, Leandro Paredes, Marco Verratti and his good friend Messi. Does the 34-year-old show himself here with his future teammates?

The carousel turns
One thing is clear: the choice of possible teams for Messi is small. In addition to Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City has always been mentioned as a possible destination for the Barça legend. The “Citizens” have already spent a large chunk (118 million euros) on Jack Grealish. In addition to Grealish, Harry Kane is also on the list of Englishmen.

Will Pep Guardiola now refrain from signing the England captain and instead guide his old Barcelona companion into the Premier League? It would probably be cheaper to leave Tottenham than Kane.
–
Other options to be speculated on include city rivals Manchester United and Juventus. In Italy there would be a spectacular union between Messi and his eternal rival Cristiano Ronaldo (36). However, these two possibilities are considered unlikely.

Messi’s wife already has a favorite team
Shortly before the surprising end of the Lionel Messi era at FC Barcelona became known, the wife of the Argentine football star confessed to her favorite team. “My team,” wrote Antonela Roccuzzo on Instagram on Thursday next to a family photo from Ibiza with Messi and their sons Thiago, Mateo and Ciro. A few hours later, FC Barcelona announced that Messi would not sign a new contract with the Catalans.
After winning the title at the South American Copa América continental championship with the Argentine national team, the family had vacationed extensively in Florida and Ibiza. In the press recently pictures of the family appeared again and again as they enjoyed themselves on a yacht in the Mediterranean with their friends Luis Suárez and Cesc Fàbregas and their families.

Mbappé could benefit
Should Messi land in Paris, another personality should come into play: that of Kylian Mbappé (22). The PSG sheikhs could consider selling the young world champion – whose contract expires in summer 2022 – in order to be able to raise the wages of «La Pulga». As is well known, Real Madrid are already scratching their hooves.

For the Catalans, however, what is probably the greatest era in their history is coming to an end. The contract negotiations failed because of “financial and structural obstacles”, as the association writes. In short, they could no longer afford his wages. After 778 competitive games since 2004, an unbelievable 672 goals and 35 titles won, Barcelona have to do without their club legend. (smi)
