Lionel Messi, the world-famous footballer from Argentina, has denied the impression of leaving the Spanish club Barcelona, saying that he does not want to play against the club and will not leave Barcelona and go anywhere.
According to a report by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), Messi, the top scorer for Barcelona, said that he will stay at the club because it is ‘impossible’ for any team to meet my terms.
“I don’t want to play in any match against Barcelona,” he said.
Remember, Messi expressed his desire last week and said that he wants to leave Barcelona immediately.
The club responded to Messi’s wish that they wanted the famous footballer to stay with the club for the time being and finish his career in Barcelona.
According to reports, the document that Messi’s lawyer sent to the club included a copy of the contract signed with the club in 2017.
The contract stipulated that footballers could leave the club at any time, but this clause also expired on 10 June this year.
Under the deal, which expires in 2021, Messi can leave Barcelona against the club’s will only if a rival club pays Barcelona a hefty €700 million for his services.
That is why Messi said that it would not be possible to fulfill this condition in another club.
Speaking about not leaving Barcelona, he said: ‘I understood and believed that I was free to leave the club, but the president always told me that I could decide whether or not to leave the club at the end of the season. ‘.
“That’s why I want to stay with the club, now I will stay at the club because the president has said that the only way to leave the club is to pay 700 million euros and that’s impossible,” Messi said.
“Another way was to go to court, I will never go to court against Barcelona because I love this club and it has given me everything from day one,” he said.
It should be noted that Messi’s desire to leave the club was expressed after last month’s worst 2-8 defeat to Bayern Munich.
Barcelona have decided to make a massive change to their squad after their worst defeat to Bayern as it is the first time in 12 years that the club have not won a trophy in a season.
Barcelona have appointed former Everton and Netherlands manager Ronald Koeman as their new coach, but Messi has not yet attended training sessions under the new coach.
“I want to play at a high level, to win titles and compete in the Champions League,” Messi admitted, admitting his comments hurt the club.
