This is a new twist in the

affair

(33).

Eager to leave Catalonia, as he informed his club at the beginning of last week, the Argentinian could finally stay at FC Barcelona until June 2021, that is to say until the end of his contract.

This is the Argentinian media 

, through its journalist Martin Arevalo, who revealed the information.

“There is a serious chance that the best player in the world will continue until June 2021 and honor his contract.

At this point, he assesses it, wrote the journalist on his social networks who also specified that the Pulga could make its decision this Thursday.

The leaders asked him to stay.

Leo will respond soon.

And he will communicate.

We will see how it ends. ”

This decision could be explained by the contractual impossibility of seeing Lionel Messi leave Barça freely this summer.

Indeed, while he wished to play a clause of his contract allowing him to leave his club without transfer compensation, the six-fold Ballon d'Or was opposed to an inadmissibility on this issue both by his training and by the Spanish league.

Today, the most likely hypothesis concerning a departure of the striker this summer would be that a club pays its release clause estimated by several media at 700 million euros.

But we are not immune to a surprise in this case ...
