Barcelona has made it clear that they will not allow losing their star player. Lionel Messi’s initial plan was to leave on a free transfer, as per a clause in his contract which allows him to do so each summer. Though, Barcelona claims that that expired at the beginning of June.
Initially, Jorge claimed that “it would be difficult” for his son to ever represent the club again. On the contrary, he flew into Barcelona earlier this week with a considerably softer stance as club officials fight to keep the Argentinian star.
Lionel Messi is Barcelonaâs record goalscorer. The player holds a record of 634 strikes in 731 appearances.
