Argentine star Lionel Messi decided his final position, and decided not to return to Barcelona, whatever promises or concessions he would get.
The newspaper Sport (SPORT), close to Barcelona, stated that there is no one currently able to persuade Messi to reverse the decision to leave.
She explained that the Argentine star did not make his decision in a moment of excitement, and his position was not in response to the harsh defeat of Bayern Munich 8-2 in the Champions League, and confirmed that the player made his decision a long time ago and after long thinking.
The newspaper pointed out that even if Barcelona President Josep Maria Bartomeu resigned, as the opponents are demanding, this will not affect the Argentine star's decision.

She said that the only solution in front of the Catalan club's management is to negotiate the value of the player's exit deal, without adhering to the penalty clause, which amounts to 700 million euros.
The newspaper indicated that Messi does not prefer to enter into a legal battle with the club in which he spent more than 20 years of his life, and confirmed that the player hopes to reach an amicable agreement with the management in order to leave in the coming days.
The newspaper expected that Messi's transfer deal would settle an amount of more than 100 million euros, and confirmed that the club has not yet received any official offer to sign Messi.
