good evening
Over the past few weeks, the footballing world went nuts when Lionel Messi handed in a transfer request to leave Barcelona a club which he has been at throughout his entire career.
Despite many clubs teasing fans into possibly buying Messi they still didn't want to pay the 700 million release fee and Messi pushed the fact that he could leave Barcelona for free at the end of the season however due to coronavirus the season was delayed and his opportunity to leave for free had already past by.
Lionel Messi refuses to dispute with Barcelona and states that he will see out his contract with the club.
Am I surprised at this?
No, this has been a problem for 4-5 years now...
Lionel Messi expressed his desire to leave multiple times throughout his career but never did despite all the drama with him and Barcelona I believe he will see out his career with Barcelona when they offer him another money lucrative contract.
another thing worth noting is Barcelona's season starts soon and many players are rumoured to be leaving but no rumours of to who will come back.
Luis Suárez has agreed on terms with Juventus and is set to leave Barcelona
Neymar rumoured to have contacted Messi throughout these past few weeks.
So with Messi now staying all those hopes of him joining another club are now shattered with some questioning is he actually good enough for another league.
One thing is for sure Barcelona will struggle this upcoming season and be looking for ways to keep hold of Lionel Messi.
