Messi broke up with Barcelona after 20 years. He did not show up for the anti Covid tests and will explain the reasons for the farewell in the next few hours.
Lionel Messi has definitively broken up with Barcelona. After sending the burofax with which the Argentine communicated his intention to leave the club at no cost, today the player did not show up at the Ciutat Espostiva "Joan Gamper" where the anti Covid tests are underway as per protocol before the resumption of training set for this afternoon.
The Argentine was expected at 10.15, but he didn't show up. Yesterday the player's representatives announced that he would not show up.
On time, at 10, Luis Suarez showed up, even if it is not part of Koeman's plans.
There is great anticipation for the Argentine's statements.
Leo Messi intends to speak in public to explain his position and the reasons that led him to the decision to leave Barcelona.
It will do so but, it is still not known how and when. This was stated by sources close to the player in various media, Argentine, news then relaunched in Spain.
The impossibility of convening a press conference due to the restrictions related to the coronavirus emergency limits the range of action.
It is likely that the 'flea' can opt for an appointment through its social channels or by giving an interview to a specific media.
Certainly Messi wants to have his say and, above all, they emphasize in Spain, he does not want others to dictate his agenda.
Yesterday the TV3 broadcaster had relaunched the news that the president of Barcelona, Bartomeu would be willing to resign if Messi officially says that the reason for the decision is linked to the president (source Ansa ).
