Barcelona, the first division of soccer and Spain, has announced that Lionel Messi, a world-class star player who has been active in the club, will leave the club.
This was announced by Barcelona on its official website.
Messi has been playing in Barcelona since he was raised, but his contract with the club has ended and he hasn't decided on a affiliation since last month.
Barcelona said in a statement, "Both parties have agreed to a contract and are willing to sign a new contract, but they cannot do so due to the financial and structural obstacles that the league has set up. I'm sorry for that, "said Messi, who will leave the team.
European media have agreed to sign a new five-year contract, while Barcelona, which has a large debt, is required by the league to curb the player's annual salary. It is said that the reason why the contract cannot be reached is that the conditions cannot be met.
Messi is 34 years old.
With his outstanding dribbling and deciding power, he was the driving force behind Barcelona's 10 league championships and 4 European Champions League championships.
In addition, he is a world-class star player who has won the best player award "Ballon d'Or" selected by a French soccer magazine six times, and is paying attention to where he belongs.
