Lionel Messi's agent, after a two-hour meeting with his father Jorge Messi, informed Barcelona President Josep Maria Bartomeu that Messi was not for sale. The 33-year-old Argentine star will not be allowed to leave the club. According to the Spanish sports daily Marker, the meeting between Barcelona president Bartomeu and Giorgio Messi took place at the Barcelona office in the new camp on Wednesday afternoon.
Bartomeu, the president of the Spanish club, was accompanied by Javier Bordas, one of the directors of Barcelona, and Jorge Messi was assisted by his other son, Messi's brother and mentor Rodrigo Messi. Despite lengthy discussions, no agreement was reached between the two sides. Bartomeu said the player's exit from the release clause expired on June 10, so Messi is a contracted player for the new season and will have to go into practice. But he has not yet joined the practice.
The Barcelona president has reiterated that the club will not take any initiative to release Messi under any circumstances, as he is the main character in Barcelona's sports project and he is under contract. Messi's desire to leave the club for free has been reiterated in accordance with the terms of the contract sent via Borofax. And so in the current situation, neither side is willing to make such a concession. So the matter, which has become more and more complicated, may be taken to court.
Great article dear.
