MESSI is LEAVING BARCELONA and JOINING PSG! ALL THE LATEST NEWS ON LIONEL’S DEPARTURE FROM BARCA!

IT’S OFFICIAL: MESSI LEAVES BARCELONA

Alright. We have to take a deep breath…. IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED! Barcelona officially announced the departure of Lionel Messi! “Lionel Messi will not continue to play for FC Barcelona!” – reads the shocking first tweet of the Catalan club. This was followed by a farewell video with a cut of the best moments of the Argentinean in Barça: “Thank you, Leo!”, – the Catalan club addressed the legend. “From boy to GOAT!” Another tweet finished off by Barcelona fans.

So what happened? Indeed, until yesterday, all the top insiders of the world of football told us the same thing: MESSI and BARCELONA HAVE AGREED A NEW CONTRACT until the summer of 2026! Among them is Fabrizio Romano, who gives only true and verified information!

Barcelona explained the situation with the following words: “Despite having reached an agreement between FC Barcelona and Leo Messi, with the clear intention of both parties to sign a new contract, it can’t be formalized due to economic and structural obstacles related to La Liga regulations. In this situation, Messi will no longer play for Barcelona. The parties deeply regret that the desire of the club and the player will not be fulfilled. Barcelona sincerely thanks the player for his contribution to the development of the club and wishes him all the best in his personal and professional life, » – says a statement from Barcelona.

As you can see, Messi and Barça did agree on a contract, but La Liga rules for financial fair play compliance did not allow the Catalans to declare its captain for the upcoming campaign. According to the Spanish media, the situation in Barcelona is so catastrophic that Barça cannot afford to announce a single newbie – the Catalans run the risk of starting the season not only without Messi, but also without Aguero, Depay, Emerson and Garcia.

How did Messi react to this news? HE WAS JUST AS SHOCKED, according to the Catalan media. He expected that Barcelona would be able to negotiate with La Liga and a new contract would await him. He did not negotiate with any other clubs – he wanted to play only for Barça. It is reported that Messi was even ready for another salary cut, but Laporta informed him that Barcelona has no opportunity to register Messi and that even another salary cut would not help it much.

There were statements that Messi decided to leave because of the weak sporting project of Barcelona, ​​but reliable sources do not confirm this stuff – on the contrary – Lionel strongly believes in the new project of Laporta, led by him and club’s pupils.

Information was spread that Barcelona’s statements about Messi’s departure are a bluff to simply put pressure on La Liga, but no – according to Cadena SER, one of the Barça board members said that this piece of overthinking is not true!

THIS IS AN UNEXPECTED SHOCKER, FRIENDS! Messi wanted to leave Barcelona last summer but couldn’t, due to the fact that he was not let go by Bartomeu. Oddly enough, this summer Leo wanted to sign a new contract, but the rules of La Liga simply did not allow him to do so!

At the moment, PSG is the main favorite for signing the stellar Argentinean! A number of top insiders – including Fabrizio Romano and Matteo Moretto – reported that Messi’s agent and father, Jorge, is already in talks with PSG. Josep Pedrerol even declares that Lionel’s move to Paris can happen very quickly. Neymar is already liking posts about Messi’s possible move to PSG …

But there is other information from influential Catalan media – Messi will not rush to make a decision, as he believes that there is still a chance that Barça will be able to turn the current situation with La Liga around and the league will allow the Catalans to announce their newbies, including free agent – Lionel Messi …

And here is how Barcelona fans reacted to the terrible news for them. Just look at these shots, these broken hearts that came to Camp Nou with some hope of influencing the situation …
