Barcelona have received no communication from Lionel Messi that he intends to leave the club as early as this summer.
Messi away from Barcelona is a title that is bouncing all over the media. In fact, the company took care to deny the alleged official communication of the Argentine champion reported by the Brazilian journalist Marcelo Bechler, correspondent in Spain of Esporte Interativo.
Destroyed after the 2-8 against Bayern, he would have decided to leave in the absence of a winning project from Barça for the next few years.
Put away from Barcelona? "He didn't tell us anything"
Neither the president of Barcelona, Josep Maria Bartomeu, nor the CEO, Oscar Grau, nor the technical secretary, Éric Abidal, who would be the valid interlocutors, have received messages from Messi.
But, and this is why the indiscretion is still taken seriously in the media around the world, from the president down they are all in the balance, one step away from goodbye.
Messi demands a radical change, the sacrifice of coach Setien, already sacked, is not enough. Bartomeu, for his part, has called new elections for November, the shareholders could discourage him.
Manchester City and Inter at the window
At the window in theory all the clubs, in practice who can afford it. They dream of Sunig's Inter, and Manchester City which with Guardiola has not managed to reach the semifinal for 4 years.
Returning to the scoop of the Brazilian journalist, it should be remembered that he was the first to unveil the sensational negotiation that led to the pharaonic and sensational transfer of Neymar jr from Barcelona to Paris Saint Germain.
It must also be said that Bartomeu's castling has a pitfall: next year Messi will be free to choose another team.
Can Barca afford to give up its iconic player? Can you afford to lose it on a free transfer? This is the dilemma.
Koeman for the bench, then Xavi and Pochettino
Meanwhile, Ronald Koeman is in pole position for the bench: the Barcelonist pedigree helps, but he has to free himself because he currently coaches the Dutch national team.
More secluded Xavi and Pochettino. The junta (the club's government) pushes for an internal solution, Pimienta who coaches Barcelona B.
The suggestion is that it can replicate the epic of Guardiola, which began by purging the big names like Ronaldinho and Etoò and giving space to the terrible boy who was about to become the strongest footballer in the world. (sources As, Marca)
