The break between Leo Messi and Barcelona is now irremediable. After sending the burofax with which the Argentine communicated his intention to leave the club at no cost today the player did not show up at the Ciutat Espostiva "Joan Gamper" where the anti Covid tests are underway as per the protocol before the resumption of training set for this afternoon. The Argentine was expected at 10.15, but he didn't show up. Yesterday the player's representatives announced that he would not show up. On time, at 10, Luis Suarez showed up, even if it is not part of Koeman's plans.
According to the Spanish media, the Barcelona players were summoned from 8 to 12 at the Gamper center to undergo the tests required by the La Liga protocol for the resumption of preparation, scheduled for tomorrow afternoon at 17.30. The first to arrive were Jordi Alba and Martin Braithwaite. Messi was expected at 10.15 but did not show up while other players who do not fit into new manager Ronald Koeman's plans for next season have done so. For example, Luís Suárez, who arrived around 10.
