Just in: Messi renewal takes U-turn as Argentine set to leave Barcelona

A shocking report from MARCA, relayed by the incredibly reliable Marcelo Bechler states that Lionel Messi is right now farther from renewing with Barcelona than he has ever been. Moreover, they add that he is more out of the club than in it as it stands.

The reported radical turn of events comes a shocking revelation, especially given that less than 24 hours ago the deal seemed sealed.

La Liga’s deal with CVC was not well received at Barcelona’s offices. The Catalan side do not wish to be a part of the deal as it would render them ‘stuck’ in a 40 year tie down in exchange for 270 million Euros.

Also, it would completely eliminate any chance of a Super League, a project the board jas repeatedly expressed interest in. However, not agreeing to the deal means that Barcelona will not be able to renew Messi, and he could leave. It is reportedly a decision between Messi and the future, and Marca goes on to explain why the board is contemplating the latter.

The Spanish outlet report that managing the wage bill will be a ‘child’s play’ if they decide against the renewal of their captain. If they choose Messi however, they feel they have to let go of a lot of talent and quality to ensure its feasibility.

The news comes as a surprise, and reports continue to flow fast. More on this topic will be revealed in coming hours according to top journalists.
