Lionel Messi will be at Barcelona another year
The player has not used the clause which could have seen him walk away for nowt
La Liga’s immediate resumption and training in full groups is enough to get the pulse racing. What’s even better is that Lionel Messi will be staying. He marks the club’s pulse and he’s extremely positive.
The Argentine is super motivated to restart the competition and drive Barca on to the title, which will be his 11th. He would only be one behind Paco Gento (12).
At the same time Leo is looking forward to the Champions League too, even though UEFA have not yet defined the format. Trophies excite him. It’s been five years since he lifted big ears, in Berlin 2015.
ESPN have given good news about the player - the clause that he can use to leave at the end of the season for free, unilaterally, has not been used and he will stay. His current deal expires in 2021. Messi’s people confirmed the news and so did the club. Barca say Leo has five days after the date of the Champions League final to communicate his desire to go - June 5. However ESPN take it as a given that he will be staying, with Messi not imagining a traumatic rupture at this stage of his career.
Mess has been at the club since he was 13 years old and he is nearly 33. He sees no other way but continuing and will be in action on June 13 after the Covid-19 break is over.
