Messi's father rejoices Barcelona fans with the word "yes"
Jorge Messi, the father and business manager of Argentine star Lionel Messi, hinted that his son Lionel could continue to stay with his Spanish football team Barcelona, until the end of his contract in the summer of next year, according to local media.
The Spanish "Quattro" channel published a video clip showing Messi, the father, answering what appears to be "yes" to a journalist's question about whether the possibility of staying the legendary team star until the end of the new season and then leaving for free at the end, in a video recorded by the Spanish TV station Quattro.
The footage was filmed while Jorge was driving to a parking garage after meeting with the family's lawyer.
The Catalan team insists that its captain will not leave unless the penalty clause of 700 million euros ($ 833 million) is paid, which was supported by the Spanish League, which in turn confirms the penalty clause is still in effect.
On Monday, the 33-year-old striker boycotted the first training session for Barcelona in preparation for the start of the season, and he also missed the mandatory examination to detect the "Covid-19" virus, which was scheduled for Sunday.
