Today will go down in history at FC Barcelona - as a sad chapter. Because Lionel Messi has decided to turn his back on the Blaugrana. Actually, Barca agreed with his superstar. And Messi was even willing to forego 50 percent of his salary. But the wage cap imposed by the league caused problems. Especially since there was no buyer for other top earners like Antoine Griezmann. But there were also other reasons for the separation.
Messi should still not have been particularly happy with the sporting perspective. Although Sergio Aguero, a friend, and colleague from the national team, was brought on board, La Pulga's other wish was not fulfilled.
Desire for Romero
As reported by 'Mundo Deportivo, the Argentine also called for compatriot Cristian Romero to be signed. Atalanta Bergamo's central defender is on the market and for Messi's sake, Barcelona is said to have made an offer of € 40m plus € 10m in bonuses.
But there was no answer from Bergamo, Romero is about to move to Tottenham Hotspur. And what about President Joan Laporta? He did everything in his power to convince Messi. The Barça boss is said to have been "tired from all the back and forth" in the end, according to the usually well-informed 'Mundo Deportivo'.
Two favorites
And so the love affair between Messi and FC Barcelona surprisingly ends this summer. A bang that made headlines around the world. And which makes many clubs dream of a future with the exceptional talent.
Above all, Manchester City and Paris St. Germain are considered a possible new home for the 34-year-old. And so the transfer market is picking up speed again thanks to the Messi hammer.
