PSG and Manchester City are the two teams seeking Messi’s services. Both clubs are funded by sovereign funds and represent the most likely solution to such a blow. According to “The Athletic”, PSG coach Mauricio Pochettino had a telephone conversation with the Argentine star.
PSG has a deficit exceeding 200 million euros and is forced to sell before buying. Nasser al Khelaifi, however, is studying a strategy to not have to give up Kylian Mbappé and thus add Messi to his club. There are many players that can be sold, but so far no one has shown the will to leave.
The case of Icardi, Sarabias, Herreras and even Keylor Navas who have refused to leave, but the French club will definitely ask for the departure of some players, to make room for Leo Messi.
On the other hand, Barcelona fans are still not able to accept Messi’s farewell from the Catalan club. As reported by the portal Deportes Cuatro, many fans appeared at the entrance of the sports center to express their anger after the announcement of the sensational farewell. Griezmann was the most whistled on arrival: “Messi is leaving because of you!”, Were the words of the fans addressed to the Frenchman.
According to fans, in fact, the choice of the former Atletico Madrid striker to stay in Barcelona did not allow the club to have the money needed to renew the Argentine. Moreover, according to internal sources, it appears that the relationship between the two players had deteriorated somewhat.
