Some members of the Barcelona board are not against Lionel
Messi leaving the club, ESPN reports.
Although some are hoping to persuade the 32-year-old to
stay, others would not fight against Messi being sold under the right
circumstances.
Messi is believed to have met new manager, Ronald Koeman
this week and admitted he sees himself more out than in at Camp Nou.
Koeman himself is keen to keep the player and build his team
around him.
But the Argentine superstar is considering his future at the
club, after a series of events in the last year, including bust-ups with former
sporting director, Eric Abidal.
On the pitch, Champions League exits against Roma and
Liverpool have been followed by a first trophyless season since 2007/2008, with
the shameful 8-2 defeat to Bayern Munich topping everything off.
Messi’s doubts about his future have generated an internal
debate among the board.
Some directors would be prepared to listen to offers that
would allow Koeman to reconstruct the team and at the same time reduce the wage
bill.
