Spanish football expert, Guillem Balague has revealed that
Lionel Messi “stopped being a Barcelona player” last week.
He said Messi has told the club that he has already left the
Catalan giants.
“Right now, I can tell you what his side are saying,”
Balague told ESPN.
“He has stopped being a Barcelona player from August 25 when
he sent the recorded delivery letter saying, ‘I’m gone’.
“So, from this point of view in his mind he’s not a
Barcelona player anymore,” he added.
Speaking on the prospect of the Argentine maestro joining
Premier League side, Manchester City, the sports expert added, “There will be a
meeting between Jorge Messi, his agent and Josep Bartomeu the president of
Barcelona.
“Right now they are in different extremes. Jorge Messi is
saying ‘we want to leave for free’ but Bartomeu is saying ‘we’re not letting
you go’.
“City are waiting. If
they say it costs £100million plus his wages, they won’t be able to pay all
that because of Financial Fair Play.”
