Lionel Messi leaves FC Barcelona.
What's next with the world star?
A former colleague tries all the tricks.
Barcelona - It's an earthquake in top European football!
Lionel Messi will leave FC Barcelona *.
One of the best players of all time says Adios after 21 years with his heart club.
The two sides could not agree on a new contract, although everything had recently indicated an extension of the Argentine superstar.
What comes next is clear: a seething rumor mill *.
Messi has about as many options as there are soccer clubs on the planet: everyone wants him!
But there are only a few who can afford it.
One of these clubs is Paris Saint-Germain.
Lionel Messi leaves FC Barcelona: where is the superstar going?
A good friend of Messi's also plays there: Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior *.
The two of them once formed a dream trio in Barcelona with Luis Suarez.
After Neymar's departure, Messi had tried again and again to lure the Brazilian back to Catalonia.
Without success.
Is it the other way around now?
A photo that Neymar posted exactly one day before the Barca bombshell caused extremely high waves.
The offensive man shared a picture on Instagram on Wednesday.
On it you can see: himself, surrounded by his "amigos", as he writes.
These friends are called: Marco Verratti, Angel Di Maria and Leandro Paredes - like Neymar all stars at PSG *.
But there is someone else in the picture who is not set in Paris.

Messi *!
He stands next to Neymar, the Brazilian puts his right arm around him.
Will you see them on the field again anytime soon?
The picture had been liked an incredible six million times by Friday morning.
England's soccer legend Gary Lineker saw it too - and directly titled it on Twitter with a "Hmmmmm" and an eye emoji.
Lionel Messi and Neymar soon reunited at Paris Saint-Germain?
What's in the bush?
In fact, alongside Manchester City, Paris would be the only option in Europe that Messi's princely salary desires could be met.
In addition to England and France, the USA and home Argentina are realistic alternatives for Messi's future.
