Messi Burofax at Barcelona revealed
If you turn the clock back a year, you will remember that Lionel Messi also filled a lot of the news at the time. After Barcelona's embarrassing Champions League exit to Bayern Munich at 8-2, it was rumored that the Argentine wanted to leave the club, but he ended up staying a year more in the Catalan big club.
Now the fax that Messi and his own staff sent last year to former Barcelona president Josep Bartomeu has been revealed by Spanish media Mundo Deportivo. The fax shows that Messi would take advantage of a clause in his contract that allowed him to switch away from Barcelona.
In the fax, Messi, who has also signed the document, writes that he would take the opportunity to cancel the contract and leave Barcelona, who, however, did not find the arguments sufficient and therefore did not let the Argentine change.
In the spring, Joan Laporta became the new president, which helped change Messi's opinion. However, the club's dire financial situation meant that Messi's contract could not be extended and he therefore had to switch to PSG.
Bartemeu and his board are really poor in managing Barca and caused Barcelona downfall
