Messi is not staying in Barcelona

It was impossible for many to think that the favorite Camp Nou Messi could ever leave, the centerpiece of the club, the day he became the best of the day by writing his name at the age of only 13 years. But in August 2020, the Argentine star brought that unimaginable thing to the fore. Say, no more.

Messi wanted to leave Barcelona on a free transfer by implementing a clause of the contract. However, the club said that the release clause has to be paid in full if they want to go. After a lot of tension, Messi decided to stay reluctantly.

After that, the then club president Josep Maria Bartomeu was forced to resign due to various complications. Juan Laporta won the vote and took responsibility, declaring that retaining Messi was his main agenda. But time passed because the talks between the two sides were not fruitful; On June 30, he became a free agent and became the best footballer of the year for a record six times.

At the end of the contract, Messi did not have that in mind. At that time he was busy on a mission to fulfill his dream for the national team. Argentina celebrated the Copa America title by defeating Brazil on June 10, and the football superstar won the title for the national team.

Four days later, some Spanish media reported that Messi had agreed to a new contract with Barcelona. On Wednesday night, several Spanish newspapers, including Marca, Mundo Deportivo and Sport, quoted sources as saying that Messi's contract with Barcelona would be formalized in the next few hours.

But on Thursday local time from the afternoon onwards the scene suddenly began to change. Messi's contract has been complicated by the complexities of La Liga rules and regulations.

In the end it happened. Despite wanting to, Messi, the record winner and record scorer in the history of the club, did not stay in the favorite club anymore.

The 34-year-old also holds the record for most matches played in the history of the club, which has won the second most titles in La Liga. Messi has scored 72 goals in 6 matches in all competitions.

Messi did not spend the farewell season for Barcelona as expected. In La Liga, the middle time was a great time for the team, but they started and finished the third place behind Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid in the last bad performance. Although the team did not win the title, Messi was brilliant in his individual performance; Pichichi won the trophy for the fifth time in a row and for the record eighth time.
