The fateful hour has struck. For sixty seconds, Lionel Andres Messi he is no longer a Barcelona player. The news is shocking in its own way and reading it makes a certain impression: the Argentine champion, one of the strongest players on the planet, is now free to sign for any other team. A strong bond, which seemed truly indissoluble, therefore ends after 7,478 days and 35 trophies, over twenty years. From today it will be only the will of the Flea to make the difference and paradoxically this makes the club blaugrana breathe a sigh of relief, because in reality the “separation” should only be formal and there is a desire to continue writing pages of history together.
Just a formality? – The agreement with the president could be reached shortly: a 5-year contract worth 100 million total, the last three years in MLS and a future as a Barça ambassador in the world. Laporta hoped to announce the renewal last June 24 (day of Messi’s 34th birthday) or 29 (day of his birthday), but he will have to wait a little longer and this increases anxiety in the whole Catalan environment. The delay, however, is due to the Copa America, goal of the number 10 and the Argentine national team, of which he has become the player with the most appearances. Head to the competition, then it’s time to think about the future. Meanwhile, the six-time winner of the Ballon d’Or officially figures among the released players. It definitely has a strange effect.
