Calendar of FC Barcelona

Leo Messi will leave to be player of the FC Barcelona this Thursday to the 00:00 hours ofthe night . The Argentinian finishes agreement this 30 June, by what from this hour will be an entirely free footballer. This is something that in the club never wanted that it happened, but the reality is that it is more near that never to occur. Unless they remedy it in the next hours, the '10' goes to desligar, at least during a time, of the team of his life.

It is necessary to remember the last words of Joan Laporta, that left clear that, although it is near, the subject does not finish to close . "It would like me say that it already is fact, but is not like this. The conversations go well, but is not closed. The idea is to close it the sooner possible. We are trusted because he wants to remain and are doing all the possible for offering him a competitive team", commented the president.

The reality is that as it is the economic situation of the Barça sign this new extension is being very complicated. It fits to stand out that Leo will go down a lot the wage and could win less than the half of what is earning now. The idea of the entity is that it can win part of this money that goes to lose once leave the Barcelona, but to achieve this it is necessary to do a lot of numbers and is necessary time.

In the club carry time expecting a gesture of Messi in which it leave clear that goes to remain and goes to renew so that the fans can remain calmer. Laporta Did not want to arrive until the point that the forward left to belong to the entity and therefore it has worked to time trial to achieve the agreement. However, it seems that it does not go him to give time to attain it and that it is unavoidable that the six times Balloon of Gold finish agreement.

There is not agreement Barça-Messi for now

Luckily, in spite of everything, anybody in the Barça doubts that the last Pichichi of LaLiga will finish renewing sooner that late. For now, there is not agreement in the form to earn the money that promises him to Leo from 2023, that will be when it finalise the agreement that will sign. In the next days expects that they approach postures and the aim is that before the end of this week can announce the extension.
