  • Messi: Tension and assault on the Camp Nou

Josep Maria Bartomeu is not willing to go down in history as the president who allowed Leo Messi to leave . In a clear strategic turn, the maximum Barça president has transferred all the pressure to the Argentine. He is willing to resign - he, not his board - if the footballer confirms that his presence at the club is the reason why he does not want to continue.

This was advanced by TV3 and was able to corroborate this newspaper. They explain in the club that it would not even be necessary for Messi to express it publicly. It would simply be enough for him to tell the president and, in exchange, for the Rosario to completely reject the idea of ​​leaving Barcelona. And fulfill the year of contract that is left . But that Messi did not come later demanding an exit if Bartomeu resigned, they warn in the entity.

Sources consulted by this newspaper, in any case, include this presidential maneuver as one more hand in a poker game with an uncertain winner. Bartomeu, who always opted to conclude his mandate and be the one who will bring the closing of last year to the assembly of delegates next October, in any case wants Messi to take a position at once.

The Argentine, however, remains firm for now in his idea of ​​leaving. He already told Ronald Koeman at the meeting last week. And as much as Bartomeu has been one of the great culprits of having made the decision to try to leave, Messi's reflection is much more global. He considers that his time at Barcelona must end after years of boredom and disappointment, both sporting and personal.
