Barcelona captain, Lionel Mess,
has informed the club’s new manager, Ronald Koeman, that he saw himself closer
to leaving the Blaugrana than to stay at Camp Nou, RAC1 reports.
Messi communicated to Koeman his
intentions for next season in a meeting held on Thursday afternoon at the home
of the Argentine captain.
The 33-year-old told the Dutchman
that he does not see a clear future for Barcelona while conveying his
discomfort and displeasure at the situation the Catalan club was experiencing
after their 8-2 defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League last week.
At this meeting, Koeman also explained his project to Messi.
Recall that Messi had
told Barcelona that he wants to leave the club this summer following their
Champions League’s exit in the hands of Bayern.
Koeman, who took over from Quique
Setién, had described Messi as the best player in the world during his official
unveiling on Wednesday, adding that he wants Messi to stay at Barca.
Koeman said: “I don’t know if I
have to convince Messi.
“He is the best player in the
world, and you want the best player in the world in your team, not on the other
side.”
