Lionel Messi’s reign at Barcelona ends, declaring that he will not “continue his association” with the club

continuity Lionel Messi In Barcelona, ​​this Thursday became a “practically impossible” issue after a meeting that was supposed to be understood as a courtesy to the last parties’ closing of the agreement between the two parties led to an absolute break, which was confirmed a few hours later by the club, which attributed the end of Messi’s reign to “La Liga regulations” “.

The Argentine star arrived in Barcelona, ​​on Wednesday, awaiting contacts between his advisors and club executives, but he is now far from accepting the entity’s assumptions. The footballer’s father arrived late in the morning, while there was already a meeting in the offices where representatives of Barcelona began to understand that the difficulties in concluding the deal became impossible and in the early afternoon the matter was broken.
