Since the fiery sparring and verbal battle between Argentine Lionel Messi, Barcelona captain and Eric Abidal, the team's sporting director, the talk about leaving the Barca's historical top scorer has been increasing until weightings for his future destination have begun.
One of those destinations was Juventus, which includes Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, Grim Messi, and among those who suggested leaving the Italian Messi, Areido Braida, former sports director of Barca.
Braida said - in a radio interview - "It is not impossible for Messi to leave Camp Nou, and it is possible to move to Juventus to join Ronaldo."
"Two top-tier players can coordinate and work together over the green rectangle and play on the same team."
On Messi's future with Barca and the possibility of his departure from the Catalan team, Braida explained, "Messi is an exceptional player and offers distinguished levels with Barca ... He plays with the team's shirt since he was 13 years old, he lives with his family in the city, leaving it is difficult but it is not impossible."
