To day of today, seems more likely that Leo Messi remain in the FC Barcelona. If this sucede, Ronald Koeman could give him a distinct role

Calendar of FC Barcelona

It does a week, seemed that the cycle of Leo Messi in the FC Barcelona had finish . The burofax of the Argentinian star informing about his intentions to abandon the club of his life terminating his agreement unilaterally seemed to finish with two decades of the 'flea' defending the Barcelona T-shirt.
