La League sides with Barcelona, Mess cannot leave

Argentina's 33-year-old, through a burofax, has communicated his decision to leave Barcelona.

Barcelona has rejected the player's desire, saying that Messi has contracted by 2021, and that any departure can be made only if the contract clause is paid that amounts to 700m euros.

Normally, such a high figure is impossible for clubs in Europe, but Messy lawyers claim that as a result of the 2019-2020 season delay, he can still leave as a free player.

But a few minutes ago, it is the La League institution that through a statement has announced the opinion that a Mess leave can be made only through the payment of 700 million clauses and that the player's contract is valid until 2021.

For Lionel Messes' services, all major European clubs are interested, but the most serious claims have expressed Manchester City, PSG, Juventus and Manchester United.

“Citizens” are seen as favorite because of Pep Guardioles, former Messey coach at Barcelona during 2008-2012.
