The Barcelona president is threatened with imprisonment if he allows Messi to leave Barcelona for free

The famous Sky Sports journalist, Guelem Balagh, revealed through his series of tweets on the social networking site "Twitter" that the current Barcelona president, Josep Maria Bartomeu, is threatened with imprisonment if he allows the Argentine star Lionel Messi to leave for free.

Ballag said: "Bartomeu will suffer in the event of Messi leaving Barcelona for free, as the next president will have the right to sue the current president, and the matter may reach prison as a punishment for forfeiting Messi and implicating the club in financial problems," noting that "Messi's departure is free of charge." On Barcelona, ​​the club will be exposed to huge financial losses, and if elections are held and a new president comes to succeed Bartomeo, he may proceed to sue him, and thus it is possible to issue a verdict against Bartomeo and put him in prison. "

Ballag explained: "Bartomeu will not give up Messi easily, and he will try to keep him because he will not be able to compensate the club financially if the Argentine star leaves."

Barcelona elections will be held next March, and Bartomeu is likely to be removed from the presidency, especially after successive technical failures, most notably the disastrous defeat in the Champions League by Bayern Munich 2-8, as well as the administrative errors committed by Bartomeu’s board of directors during the past season, starting with the tense relationship with the players and the file.
