Barcelona president offers to resign - to save Messi left

On Tuesday, several media reported that Messi was tired of the situation in Barcelona and that he asked to be released from his contract, which expires next summer.

As a result, some fans gathered outside the Camp Nou and demanded the resignation of President Bartomeu.

Bartomeu is ready to meet the fans' demands if Messi goes public and explains that the dissatisfaction with the club is due to the chairman.

Messi has not responded to Bartomeu's proposal. After the 2-8 loss in the Champions League quarter-final against Bayern Munich, coach Quique Setien was fired and Ronald Koeman was hired, with Henrik Larsson joining as an assistant.

In a conversation with Koeman, Messi explained that he felt more outside than inside the team. Barcelona are now doing everything to try to keep Messi at the club.

- We are not considering any kind of farewell because we want Messi to stay. We do everything we can to make sure that the relationship between Barca and Messi will continue, says Barca's sports director Ramon Planes.

Messi is linked with his old coach Pep Guardiola in Manchester City. Paris SG is also mentioned.

In Argentina, fans of Newell's Old Boys gathered in a parade on Thursday to try to lure Messi home to his boys' club in Rosario. Messi has belonged to Barcelona since he was 13.

Newell's Old Boys fans know that they are not at the forefront of the advance tips on where Messi will go, but reminds that the club against all odds signed a contract with Diego Maradona in 1993 when he was 33 years old.

- People thought it was impossible, says Jamie Ralph in the supporter club to PA.
