Barca's technical and administrative problems accumulate, and it needs a solution before losing its stars one after another, led by the unhappy Argentine star, Lionel Messi.
His relationship with the current Barca administration is not very good, especially in recent years, which have witnessed many debates and disputes between the two parties.
And based on all of the above, the Catalan radio "Cadena Ser" revealed yesterday that the Argentine magician has suspended negotiations to renew his contract, and he may leave from the Camp Nou in the summer of 2021.
This information was ignored by Barca, and the administration denied it, confirming that she had no knowledge of Messi's change of negotiations, and expected that things would go normally.
The newspaper "Marca" reported that negotiations - if they were already suspended - will resume, but Messi will wait for what will happen in the short term on the issues of the squad and players to be contracted with and the identity of the winner of the next Catalan presidential election in 2021.
These elections coincide with the expiration of Messi's contract, which has a clause authorizing him to leave for free to any team he wants on June 30 of each year, which extends to the summer of next season.
The results of these elections are supposed to be an important element in the extension or not of Messi's contract.
The captain of the Argentine national team has on more than one occasion reiterated his desire to retire from the Barça shirt, the club with which he signed his first contract in 2005, and renewed him 8 times.
It is reported that the Spanish newspaper "El Pais" was the first to leak the details of Messi's contract, and the information was confirmed by his colleague Gerard Pique, saying that "after everything Messi presented to the club, it is his right to be able and free to determine his fate and future."
