Cristiano Ronaldo pushed Lionel Messi to make this tremendous decision about his future

The future of Lionel Messi is still a mystery, even though there are some hints of the decision that he could be taking soon. The Argentinian legend tried to leave during the last transfer window but ex-president Josep María Bartomeu didn’t let him out. After his departure, things may now change.

The contract of Messi at FC Barcelona ends on June 2021 and the player will be able to negotiate his departure since January. The idol is still thinking on what he will be doing but the defeat on Champions League Week 6 against Juventus on Nou Camp makes him think his time to leave has arrived.

Cristiano Ronaldo performed incredibly and the Italian side won 3-0, pushing Messi to take a decision that he was probably trying not to make now. The chances of him moving now are very clear, being Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City the two clubs that have more chances to sign him.

Messi has been playing for Barça during more than 20 years, when he arrived to La Masía. He transformed into the greatest idol of the club, being the top-scorer and assistant, but the fact of not having a competitive squad in the last years of his career make him think that moving on at his 33 years is his best option.
