Barcelona-SANA
A Spanish press report revealed that Barcelona star Lionel Messi has suspended negotiations for the renewal of his contract and is preparing to leave the Spanish club competing in the Spanish first division after the expiration of his contract in 2021.
The report published by the Spanish radio station Cadena Sir today indicated that Messi has suspended renewal negotiations with Barcelona and wants to end his current contract in the summer of 2021 and then leave Barca.
The station indicated that Messi is angry at the press reports that made him appear responsible for what is happening at the club, such as the dismissal of coach Ernesto Valverde last January, and he is also frustrated by the lack of competence of the squad.
The 33-year-old Messi scored the 700th goal of his career when he netted Atlético Madrid from a penalty kick last Tuesday, but the match ended in a 2-2 draw and Barcelona's hopes of retaining the League title fell.
