Like Real Madrid selling Cristiano Ronaldo, Barcelona are reluctant to let go of Lionel Messi for free

DBasia.news – Barcelona refuses to lose Lionel Messi for free. The team nicknamed the Blaugrana will imitate Real Madrid’s method of selling Cristiano Ronaldo.

Messi’s determination to leave Barcelona was unanimous. He has sent a letter through fax to the Blaugrana officials regarding his wish.

Messi has also asked Barcelona to allow him to leave for free. He referred to one of the clauses in his contract.

The clause in question is that Messi is allowed to leave for free if he requests it by June 10 in each season. He feels that the date listed can be changed considering the end of the 2019-2020 season stretched to August.

Reported by Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona officials rejected Messi’s argument. They will only allow the flagship player to leave for free on June 30, 2021 or when his contract expires.

Barcelona officials felt no need to hesitate to refuse Messi’s request. Although the player’s contribution is undoubtable, the club also provides the right rewards for his various achievements.

In addition, Barcelona officials also do not want to be criticized by the fans if they just let Messi go. This will make their image even worse in the eyes of the public.

It is interesting to see Messi’s response to Barcelona’s gesture. It is possible that he will take legal action to resolve the difference in views regarding this clause.
