FC Barcelona revolves around Lionel Messi. It has always been like that almost since the very first time of the Argentinian legend at the club. The attacker left Rosario as a kid and joined La Masía with 13 years to transform himself into the top scorer and the greatest idol of the Catalan side.

But after 20 years thing have changed to much and Messi no longer wants to play at Barça. He makes that clear when he tried to move during the last transfer window, but ex-president Josep María Bartomeu didn’t let him. Now that he is left, and with his contract ending on June 2021, the panorama is very different to what it was.

The option to renew his contract hasn’t yet been talked and it seems that Messi will be leaving. Since January he could negotiate with any side he wants to move for free since the next summer. Despite almost any club in the world wants such a forward, Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain are the two with more chances to sign him.

During the last hours, Spanish press reported that Messi has been in trouble with his companions at the locker room and with head coach Ronald Koeman. It was said that the other players from Barça do not support him anymore and that want him to take an immediate decision about his future, to end the chaotic climate they are working under.

Almost no friends left

Messi had ones all his greatest friends in Barcelona’s locker room. But during the years they started to leave. Dani Alves, Andrés Iniesta, Xavi Hernández, Javier Mascherano and Luis Suárez, some of those who had a great relationship with him.
