Lionel Messi could finally stay at Barça

This is a new twist in the Lionel Messi 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.

It was the Argentinian media 

, through its journalist Martin Arevalo, which 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 stage, he evaluates it, “wrote on Twitter the journalist 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. ”

Jorge Messi, the father and agent of the Argentine, confirmed in the day to 

 that this possibility was plausible.

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 from a near surprise in this case ...

For many months, Gareth Bale, who does not really fit into the plans of Zinedine Zidane, did not hide his intention to leave Real Madrid.

Asked about his abortive departure to China last year, the Welshman criticized the attitude of his club: “I tried to leave last year, but they blocked everything at the last second, he said. he told 

.

It was an exciting project, but it didn't materialize ”.

Now, the 31-year-old striker, "always motivated to play football", hopes that the Merengue will let him join a club that can suit him.

And why not in England?

The former Tottenham player said he was in any case ready to consider a return to the Premier League: "J

have a contract, all I can do is move forward on what I want do and hopefully something will happen.

If English clubs were interested, that's something I would obviously look at, ”he added.

The arrival of Ronald Koeman, the new coach of FC Barcelona, ​​shakes up the Blaugrana workforce.

After Ivan Rakitic left for Sevilla FC, Arturo Vidal, who is not in the plans of the Dutch technician, is also on the start.

According to

information 

, the Chilean midfielder is expected to leave Barca Libre to sign with Inter Milan in the coming days.

The daily specifies that the announcement of his termination of contract could take place this Thursday.
