Messi's frustration opens the door to clubs wanting to sign him
Argentine star Lionel Messi returns to the fore again after the end of the Spanish League with Atletico Madrid crowning the title, as the "flea" will be the focus of the Spanish and European media's talk about his future with Barcelona.
While the president of the Catalan club, Juan Laporta, stressed that Messi remains among his priorities to maintain the stability of the team and prepare for the next season in the best possible way, but the ambiguity of the Argentine player's position on extending his contract with Barca opens the door to clubs wishing to sign him.
Messi had sparked controversy this season by announcing his desire to leave and take on a new experience, which contributed to the entry of many clubs in the race to sign the best player in the world six times.
The Manchester City team, led by the former coach of the Argentine player, is at the top of the list of clubs hoping to include Messi, Pep Guardiola, who hopes to meet Messi again in one team after the duo presented the best version for each of them with Barcelona.
Although City has not officially announced its entry into negotiations with the Argentine player, the English club remains one of the most anticipated destinations for the Barca star in the event of his departure from the "Blaugrana".
The second team seeking to include Messi is Paris Saint-Germain, who is seeking to fulfill the dream of winning the Champions League title, which evaporated this season by losing to Manchester City in the semi-finals, in addition to losing in the final of the last version against Bayern Munich.
Although the Parisian club includes Brazilian Neymar and Frenchman Kylian Mbappe, the club's management is seeking to include Messi and complete the team's offensive strength, to be ready to pounce on the European title next season.
Messi's feeling of frustration with the disappointing results achieved by Barcelona this season, with the team winning only the King's Cup, is one of the main reasons why he is considering leaving Barca, in addition to the absence of strong contracts that contribute to the team's return to compete for the Champions League title.
