The only way to leave for free for Messi would be a white season

Lionel Messi -

If Lionel Messi wants to leave Barcelona legally and for free, he will simply have to not play for Barca for a year, sources familiar with the matter cited by ESPN believe.

As a reminder, the 33-year-old Argentine player wanted to activate the clause allowing him to leave the club for free at the end of the season, a clause which, according to the Catalan team, expired at least in June.

It is therefore necessary for the moment to activate the clause of 700 million euros to secure the services of the international albiceleste.

End of contract in 2021

The Messi clan continues to say that the six-fold Golden Ball unilaterally broke his contract with the club, which would allow him to engage without transfer compensation where he wants, in this case Manchester City.

It is for this reason that he also skipped training on Monday.

Whatever the outcome of the Messi soap opera, he only has one year of contract left at Camp Nou and he could sign wherever he sees fit in the summer of 2021. What to wonder about the usefulness of a white season.
