Barcelona club management is going through an unprecedented state of confusion, in light of its complete preoccupation with the expected departure of the Argentine star Lionel Messi and the terms of his contract, and attempts to sign new players to aid the team and restore centers in agreement with the new technical staff led by the Dutch Ronald Koeman, at a time when the Spanish coach increased Kiki Sitien - the verbal article 10 days ago - pressures her to send him a letter (fax) requesting that he be formally notified of the decision to dismiss his services, which has not happened yet!
The Spanish newspaper, Marca, reported yesterday that “Setien’s lawyer contacted the club’s management in the same way that Messi had taken, when he told them that he was preparing to leave the club (by fax), and demanded that he notify his client officially of his dismissal decision, and not through the media, so that he could Searching for another training experience in another club, ”explaining that“ the coach is also demanding financial compensation for the dismissal decision. ”
Setien was sacked from his post after the disastrous defeat by Bayern Munich in the semi-finals of the Champions League 8-2, which angered the fans of the Catalan club, and prompted the board of directors to overthrow him and contract with Koman, who had previously worn the "Blaugrana" shirt and led him. To winning his first Champions League title in 1994, he seeks to save the team in its current great ordeal.
The newspaper pointed out that "the Barcelona administration responded to Quique Setien's lawyer that it would reach a suitable solution at the appropriate time, and what prevented it from notifying him officially of its busy schedule."
The loss of the eight against the "Bavarian" placed a heavy burden on the shoulders of the Barcelona administration, which is required to correct its course after the recent failures in a season of forgetting, with which the team could not win any championship, and the biggest loss expected to leave Messi, who grew up in Barcelona, and built his glory. It raised his technical, marketing and public value, and made him the highest heel in the Spanish domestic championships in front of the traditional rivals Real Madrid.
Crises rolled over the head of Barcelona's administration, after the new coach Koman informed current players in the team, led by Uruguayan Luis Suarez, that they would not be in his accounts in the new season, as his conversation with Suarez only lasted a minute and a half, according to the newspaper "AS", which is what He put management in a critical position in its attempts to get rid of players whose contracts are still valid.
Barcelona management is preparing to enter the new season with a different policy, after hiring Coman, who has a strong personality, quite unlike what the previous period has witnessed under the leadership of coaches Ernesto Valverde and Quique Setien, who did not satisfy the Catalan fans, who still have mercy on the time of the legendary coach of the Spanish club, Pep Guardiola, who achieved with "Barca" what a coach in the world could not achieve with the historic sixth.
On the other hand, European newspapers and websites, including Sky News, predicted the possibility of a new partnership between Pep Guardiola and Messi in the English club Manchester City, which is interested in joining the "flea", despite the player's negotiations with the Italian club Inter Milan and Paris Saint-Germain. , She said, "The (Barca) administration may demand nearly 200 million euros to allow Messi to leave, and that it will not allow him to move in a free transfer deal, since the clause in place to terminate his contract has expired."
She explained: "Messi demanded to activate the option to leave a year before the end of his contract, according to the clause agreed upon in his contract, but the fact that the clause has expired and its time since last June may cause legal repercussions between Barcelona and the Argentine star."
