“They don’t have to be the bad guys at camp Nou.
Possibly this is at this time, as it actually turns out that the fault would be at Bartomeu’s door, as Messi can also rightly claim that he had no selection given the revolts at the nou camp, and was supported through Puyol and Suarez. on Twitter.’

ICYMI
Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain are the only two suitors who will pay a payment for Lionel Messi’s move, according to reports.
The 33-year-old Argentine has revolutionized world football by making it clear that he intends to leave Barcelona this summer.
But if you’re in your statement that you can leave for free, your features would possibly be more limited.
The Spanish media player Sport claims that Inter Milan could be in the mix, however, if they needed to pay their salary after a loose transfer.
”COMPLETELY FALSE”
For Spanish-speaking readers, The Chiringuito reports that Barcelona’s board of directors exasperated Messi through actively tarnishing his symbol after the 8–2 defeat to Bayern Munich.
In particular, they say, technicians have leaked false rumours that Messi ordered Quique Setien to replace his lineup for the adjustment in Lisbon.
Messi was reportedly also exasperated by the fact that Ronald Koeman’s call to Luis Suarez to tell him that he would no longer want it took just a minute and 52 seconds.

WRESTLER AWARD
Barcelona has named its award for Lionel Messi, according to reports in Spain.
And that’s precisely the same value that PSG paid for Neymar!
Radio RAC reports that a payment of 222 million euros (200 million pounds) will be to force Barca’s hand.
His report adds that Barcelona is now resigned to Messi.
However, you will not be asked to pass for free, nor will you be asked to make your 631 million pound termination clause respectable in full.
KOEM RETURN
Reports from Argentina earlier in the day said Ronald Koeman had exasperated Messi by telling him that he would “withdraw his privileges.”
However, Guillem Balage says that’s not the case and that Koeman sought to build the equipment around him.
On the contrary, the Barcelona board had leaked a biased account of Messi with Koeman in the hope of encouraging him to ask to leave.
Balague wrote to the BBC: “I am convinced that the club’s goal at the highest point is to reveal a component of the story, especially the component in which he admitted to Koeman that he felt closer to leaving than staying.
“This statement would convert enthusiasts who oppose Messi to eventually release him and use that cash (his salary is more than 50 million euros net, double if taxes are counted) to renew the equipment.
“If you think he’s the most vital player, then you build a team around him, what Koeman should do. You’re not throwing a crusade to get rid of it.”
”ABSOLUTELY UNFAIR”
Earlier in the night, Juanma Castaño, who appears to be among Messi’s critics, attacked the player in a tweet.
The host of El Partidazo de Cope wrote: “It is compatible to think that Bartomeu’s control is disastrous and that Messi’s behavior is surely unfair towards the club and its hobby.”

‘FEDERAN A MONSTER’
The majority view turns out to be that the Barcelona board is guilty of Messi’s decision. But Juanma Castaño, announcer of Spanish radio El Partidazo de Cope, has a very different point of view.
He said: “It’s very unfair to slam that door shut down right now. I can’t protect that attitude. Let the People of Barcelona find out because Messi sent a burofax to Barca is amazing.
“Is a leader leaving? Not for me. For me, Messi proves he’s not a leader. Messi’s tyranny is gone.
“Messi is not a leader, he imposed his rules in the locker room and there are other people in this locker room who have suffered with Messi.
“Bartomeu deserves it because Barca for fear of Messi. They fed a monster and he ate it.”
Messiah
Lionel Messi doesn’t need more strength in Barcelona but just needs to leave, according to reports.
After the surprising request for movement of the previous Argentine in the day, some advised that he would take office if the club’s president, José María Bartomeu, resigned.
But according to the BBC’s Guillem Balague, Messi just needs to leave, and he may simply refuse to attend the pre-season, provoking a confusing legal dispute.
GO NOWHERE
The president of Barcelona, Bartomeu, will NOT resign, according to reports.
Sources from Argentina and the Middle East had warned him that he was contemplating leaving and calling early elections to convince Messi to stay.
However, SPORT, in Barcelona, said it had contacted them and told them it would remain in office.
INDEPENDENT INK STATEMENT
Unsurprisingly, Lionel Messi is short of suitors after expressing his goal of leaving Barcelona clearly.
And the Argentine club Independiente has now claimed the signature of the six-time ballonant winner, tweeting: “Think about it, Leo”.
The Buenos Aires-based team is Sergio Aguero’s years-of-training club, while Messi grew up supporting Newell’s Old Boys of Rosario.
