Messi

doesn't have to prove anything to anyone anymore.

A move to the

Many former stars end their careers there, taking the glamor of big cities like New York, Los Angeles or Chicago with them.

It remains exciting!

Lionel Messi: Farewell to FC Barcelona - transfer targets at a glance

First report from August 17th: Barcelona - is it the end of an era?

FC Bayern Munich

* blasted

8-2 out of the Champions League *.

The historic victory represents a milestone - both on the one hand and on the other.

The Blaugrana have already drawn the first conclusions: Coach Quique Setien has to take his hat, the premier

seemed to be his very last

ray of

hope anyway.

For

it is now definitely an untitled season.

Setien

gone, Gerard Piqué also with

emigration *.

And

?

The superstar

the

.

And now it seems to be about to say goodbye too!

The Brazilian broadcaster

recently reported that the 33-year-old had informed the club that he wanted to change.

This is what the station's reporter responsible for Barca wanted to know.

A confidante of Messi's was quoted as saying that he had never seen the Argentine so determined to make a transfer.

But: In the case of the Catalans, none of those responsible had been informed of Messi's intention, the newspaper wrote, “citing sources close to the club. 

Lionel Messi: Farewell to FC Barcelona?

An era seems to be coming to an end

That

to

leaves - it was speculated repeatedly in the past.

It actually feels more real now than ever before.

What will become of

?

We thought about it.

Lionel Messi to Bayern Munich?

If you can't beat them, join them!

A saying that is of course also well known in sports.

So

if

can't beat Bayern *, he should join them.

A romantic thought that will delight every Bayern fan.

And, to be honest: why shouldn't one of the best players in the world play for one of the best teams in the world?

There is already wild discussion among supporters on social networks.

What's wrong with

?

Sure: his immense salary, his age, his ingenious variety that demands: the system must be geared towards him.

From this point of view it is clear:

will

not

.

But if you think the other way around: How many shirts would FCB be able to sell?

Which new markets could you suddenly develop?

Which sponsors would appear at once?

How big could the brand suddenly get?

Interesting mind games that the bosses pose when Messi actually wants to change.

Nevertheless:

.

Messi would have a big fan in Munich in Alphonso Davies.

Lionel Messi to Inter Milan?

A little Argentine who plays football a lot and that in Italy too - it

without

saying that memories of

up.

Changes

to

?

In recent weeks, reports have made the rounds that “La Pulga” has bought a penthouse in Lombardy.

Then there was the Messi silhouette, which supposedly appeared on the Milan Cathedral.

Ultimately, it was probably a sophisticated fake.

The fact is:

is slowly coming back into fashion.

The big club that

does

a

justice is simply not what they are.

Good results in the Europa League and not a single championship in ten years - is that so attractive to the Barca star?

On the other hand: Cristiano Ronaldo at Juventus Turin - nobody thought of that at first.

.

Lionel Messi to Manchester City - or where Pep Guardiola works?

Messi

and

at

- this rumor also wafted through the media again and again.

Why not?

At

the duo showed what they are capable of.

City has - at least on a national level - been quite successful in recent years, only in the premier class * is missing the big hit.

The scenario of Pep calling Leo and

luring

him with the Champions League title for

- it's not that far-fetched.

Now there is only one problem:

is close to the end of the Skyblues!

Without his former sponsor,

unlikely to move to England.

Lionel Messi to Newell's Old Boys?

In addition to

,

exactly one club in his heart: The

.

Please who

Of course, it's the Argentine's childhood club.

for the club from his hometown

until he was 13

, after which he went to Barca.

In 2019 he said: “I would like to play for

, but it is not easy to return to Argentina.

I have to think about my family and the children.

It also depends on them.

I've been a Newell's fan since I was a kid. ”

So

if

really changes, a return to Argentina doesn't seem that unrealistic right now.

.

An FC Bayern star almost kicked at FC Barcelona *, but the Catalans' presidium had decided against him for an incomprehensible reason.

Lionel Messi: stay with FC Barcelona

The most likely option remains to stay at

.

, the heart of the proud club, cannot say goodbye with an 8-2 debacle.

Coach Setien is gone and a major change is imminent.

could go one step further, clear the rubble and work with an old acquaintance to ensure a healthy future for Barca.

, once an important piece of the puzzle for the glorious days of the Catalans, has long been traded as a coaching candidate.

It is now clear: Ronald Koeman will take over.

Can

the Dutchman

keep

at the club?

Apparently the chances are not too good, Messi probably has doubts.
