This is inseparable from the performance of Lionel Messi in the field. The 32-year-old player does not stop scoring records and brings Barcelona to the best.

However, the sweet story is threatened to end. Because, based on El Pais’ report, Lionel Messi has rejected the new contract offered by Barcelona. 

So far, there is no definite reason why Lionel Messi did that. However, Messi’s actions certainly threaten his future at Barcelona.

El Pais added, Lionel Messi could choose to leave Barcelona even though his contract remained until June 2021. Messi can do that because in the contract there is a clause if the player can freely determine the future when there is only one season left.

In fact, Barcelona can not forbid the megastar to leave. Messi is free to determine his future and accept offers from interested clubs.

Marca tried to guess the reason Lionel Messi was reluctant to extend his contract with Barcelona. According to Marca, two things can be the cause. 

First, Lionel Messi was disappointed with Barcelona’s activities in the 2019 summer transfer market. Moreover, after Barca failed to repatriate Neymar. Messi rate, Barcelona has no ambition to shine again.

The next reason is that Lionel Messi wants to retire at Newell’s Old Boys – the player’s childhood club. Messi has several times expressed his desire.
