Earthquake at Barcelona. After the debacle of the 2-8 against Bayern Munich and the unconfirmed goodbye of Setién, Messi, has caused a cataclysm by telling the board of directors that he will leave the club this summer, according to 'Esporte Interativo'. Minutes later, Barca, through 'Mundo Deportivo', denied it.
The 8-2 defeat in Portgual could be the worst news of the summer for Barcelona. Marcelo Bechler, of 'Esporte Interativo', informed that Leo Messi has told the club that he wants to leave the club immediately.
The drift that Barcelona have had in the last few years, especially since Neymar's exit and the lack of competitiveness in Europe have tired the Argentine, who has lost his best years without managing a new Champions League.
The aforementioned source, which assured that Neymar would go to PSG in 2017, explained that Messi has already spoken with the Barcelona board to give them an ultimatum. And he wants to leave if nothing changes.
"A decision that can only be changed if he is presented with a project that convinces him", Marcelo Bechler said on 'Onda Cero', where he also spoke about the information about Messi's possible exit.
However, minutes later it was 'Mundo Deportivo' that denied the information. The Catalan newspaper assured that Barcelona sources have communicated that Messi hasn't spoken with the board to leave.
The Argentine player's circle, the aforementioned source affirms, still hasn't said anything and hasn't wanted to confirm nor deny the information offered by 'Esporte Interativo'.
In any case, the simple fact that Messi is considering an exit shakes the foundations of Barcelona, who still have to decide who will manage the team and the possible exit of Abidal, as well as a possible moving forward of presidential elections.
