Despite the announcement by the Argentine star Lionel Messi to cancel the idea of ​​his departure and stay with his team Barcelona, ​​his justifications for returning confirmed that he had returned, and made it clear that he did not renew the contract with the Blaugrana and leave immediately after the end of his contract next summer.

We monitor 7 main reasons indicating the departure of Messi (33 years), who won the Golden Ball as the best player in the world 6 times, and they are:

The disappearance of the huge penalty clause


. Messi said that he returned to Barcelona for several reasons, among them, but the most important from our point of view, Barcelona insisted on obtaining the penalty clause estimated at 700 million euros, and that he refused to stand before Barcelona in the courts, and the fact is that Messi's weak position is what led him not to resort to the sports court Because if he had loved Barcelona, ​​as he claimed, he would not have thought of leaving him at this difficult time after the historic 8-2 defeat by Bayern Munich and the humiliating exit from the Champions League.

Certainly, this huge barrier will be removed at the end of Messi's contract next summer, and he can move to any team he wants without any compensation for Barcelona.

The billion-dollar offer from Manchester City


Many reports confirmed that the offer made by Manchester City was irresistible, as he would have paid about one billion dollars in exchange for signing for a period of 5 years, provided that in the last two seasons he wore the New York City shirt of the Manchester group. City.

Barcelona's hardening and strong position prevented the completion of the deal, which will not be canceled, but it was only postponed for next summer, once Messi's contract with his club expires.

Tense relationship with Koeman It


is certain that Messi's relationship with the new Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman will not be perfect, as it began with problems and crises, most notably the coach's decision to leave Messi's close friend Luis Suarez, and inform him of this by phone in a way that does not fit with his history with the team.

According to reports, Messi sent a "Borofax" in which he requested to leave the club after his meeting with the new coach, Koeman, during which he was said to have told the player of the need to reduce the great financial privileges he gets from the club.

Damaged popularity


Messi's announcement to leave Barcelona in an unfriendly manner has

damaged his popularity

in a way that he may not be able to fix, because most of the fans have become sure that the legend of the team does not have the same loyalty to the ancient club, but rather that his loyalty to the money that was the real reason for his demand to leave, according to some description.

And that confirmed the referendum conducted by the Spanish newspaper "AS", which asked the fans of the Blaugrana one question: Do you agree with Messi staying in Barcelona?

The result was shocking, as 61.6% of the public rejected its continuation compared to only 38.4% who accepted it.

Certainly, this percentage will constitute for some of the fanatics of the club an element of uncharacteristic attack on Messi, which has always been sacred to the fans, which will increase the player's desire to leave.

The end of Messi's relationship with the club president Messi's


relationship with Barcelona club president Josep Maria Bartomeu reached rock bottom, where the player described his management of the club as disastrous, and attacked him in his return speech, accusing him of not fulfilling his promise to leave at any time.

Although Bartomeu did not respond to Messi's accusations and attack, the pro-media took over the task, and the player was distorted in a way that affected even the fans loving him.

Last Friday, Messi said that the world of football is very difficult and has many fake people, and that what happened helped him to expose them, stressing that he was painful when his love for Barcelona was questioned, which would not change, whether he stayed or left the club.

Searching for a new experience and challenge

His marginalization and the dismissal of Valverde against his will,


despite what is reported that Messi is the ruler of his order in Barcelona and that he must agree to everything, the way in which the former coach of the team Ernesto Valverde - who was supported by Messi - was sacked and the appointment of Quique Setien in the middle of the season refutes these allegations, and confirms This decision widened the rift between the player and the club, which Messi will not forget, just as he will not forget the treachery of his friend Suarez.
