Leo Messi is not willing to give in his effort to leave Barcelona, ​​no matter how much in the last hours he sought dialogue with the government of Josep Maria Bartomeu. The Argentine footballer, after attending to the advice of his lawyers, has decided not to attend the PCR tests to which the first team footballers and members of the Barça coaching staff will undergo this Sunday. Nor to the first training session with the new coach, Ronald Koeman, scheduled for next Monday. In the Barcelona entity, however, they assure that they do not have an official pronouncement by the footballer.

They had the hope in the Barcelona board of directors that Messi would agree to start the Barça preseason. Not only to facilitate an attempt at reconciliation that seems more distant every day, but for a simple legal question. The legal department of Barça understands that if the Rosario returns to the activity, it would be taking for granted that he still has one year left on his contract. When Messi understands just the opposite, attending to last Tuesday's burofax in which he took for granted the termination of his relationship with the Barça entity through a clause that, according to Barcelona's criteria, expired on June 10.

Messi's lawyers have once again requested an audience with Barcelona to try to reach an agreed exit. It is perhaps the only possible solution before reaching a battle in the courts. For now, the Barça leadership is not willing to give in. Bartomeu does not want his name to be associated in any way with the sale of the best footballer in the history of the entity. So he will only meet with the Argentine's legal representatives if it is to negotiate a renewal. Meanwhile, the club continues to refer to its remaining contract year, until June 30, 2021, and to its exit clause, estimated at 700 million euros.

Messi understands that he is no longer hired by Barcelona. That you don't have to put your shirt back on. Not even the training one. The war can go on.
