Spanish media stated rgar Messi and his team contacted the club this weekend to try to discuss the situation. He has announced his intention to leave by sending the club a burofax, a certified document similar to a telegram.

Barcelona president, Josep Bartomeu is reportedly trying to meet the player after his decision to leave was announced. He later said that he was willing to resign if that was what was needed to keep Messi.

Spanish radio station, SER said on Saturday that Barcelona ended their current contract with their current law firm as they also worked for Messi.
