Lionel Messi refuses to play with this Barcelona star and asks for his departure as a condition to arrive

Lionel Messi wants to reach Barcelona next season. The Argentine will not continue with Paris Saint-Germain and the club that saw him born as a professional player is his main priority in the summer market. After the mistreatment he received from the PSG ultras, Leo decided not to accept the renewal offer.

To return to the Catalan club, the Barça leadership will do everything possible to make the world champion with Argentina feel comfortable. Leo left Blaugrana in 2021 and did not finish fixing the relationship he had with Marc-André Ter Stegen, culé goalkeeper. Both crossed paths in the historic 2-8 win in the Champions League against Bayern Munich.

In that 2020-21 season, the German goalkeeper had claimed several times that some of his teammates were not involved in defensive tasks. And this did not sit well with Rosario. In addition, the goalkeeper did not include the Argentine when they asked him which was his ideal team with which he had played, something strange because Messi is one of the best players in history.

In the middle of the rumours, what Ter Stegen did

The German goalkeeper knows that Messi is close to arriving at Barcelona. His arrival is within the club's plans. After the rumors about Leo's return and his bad relationship with the Argentine, Ter Stegen was the center of various criticisms for his response to the first goal scored by Real Sociedad in the league match. He had a weak reaction when saving the shot.
