Messi Absent from Training, His Father Will Meet the Barca’s President

DBasia.news – Lionel Messi seems to emphasize his attitude of wanting to leave Barcelona by default at the inaugural training under Ronald Koeman, Sunday (30/8).

Messi’s relation with Barcelona’s management are getting worse. This was after the player’s desire to leave for free was rejected out of hand.

Most recently, Messi refused to attend when the club conducted medical tests for the players on Sunday (30/8) local time. The 33-year-old player is also likely to miss Barcelona’s inaugural pre-season training as a sign that he is determined to leave.

Even so, it turns out that Messi’s father continues to communicate regularly with Bartomeu. Although it was done remotely because Jorge was in Argentina.

Reported by Mundo Deportivo, Messi’s father will soon fly to Barcelona to speak directly with Bartomeu. The meeting is scheduled to take place on Wednesday (2/9).

During the meeting, Messi’s father plans to ask permission so that Barcelona is willing to fulfill his son’s wishes. In essence, he wanted to part on good terms and avoid this dispute from continuing in legal channels.

This is certainly interesting considering Barcelona firmly refuses to let Messi go for free. Bartomeu was even ready to resign as long as the captain overturned his decision.

It would be difficult for Messi to leave this summer if Barcelona had not terminated his contract. Every club that wants to propose to him must pay a transfer fund of 700 million euros in accordance with the release clause in his contract.
