Barcelona Ready To Sell Lionel Messi by Collinsemegreat(op): 7:09am On Aug 22, 2020
Barcelona hope to persuade Lionel Messi to stay at the club, but some members of the board have told ESPN that they wouldn’t be against selling him in the right circumstances.

New coach Ronald Koeman has publicly said he wants to build the team around Messi, and sources have told ESPN that the board’s stance is that they want to keep him.



However, Messi’s doubts about his future have generated an internal debate among the board. Some directors have told ESPN that they would be prepared to listen to offers that would allow Koeman to reconstruct the team at the same time as reducing the wage bill.

Messi has grown frustrated with events on and off the pitch in recent seasons. He had a public falling-out with former sporting director Eric Abidal earlier this year and criticised the board for attempting to put pressure on the players when they were negotiating a wage cut due to the coronavirus pandemic.

On the pitch, Champions League exits against Roma and Liverpool have been followed by a first trophy-less season since 2007-08, with the humiliating 8-2 defeat to Bayern Munich topping everything off.

RAC 1 first revealed on Thursday that Messi has already met with Koeman and informed him that he sees himself more out than in at Camp Nou after the Champions League.

Every world best in Barca always gets frustrated out of the club. Is that Barca's tactics in laying off their best players when they exhaustion them?

Koeman wants to keep Messi, yet he wants to make stupid signings which is just the same problem has with the board.

Messi should go to a better team so Barca can stop feeding fat on his efforts. Koeman can turn Barça into Netherland national team if he wants

RIP English.

By the way, if you read very well, Barca is not laying him off. It is Messi that is insisting that he is likely to leave, and SOME of the board members are saying if Messi insists, they would not oppose him. That is different from being asked to leave the club. Always try to comprehend issues well before commenting.

Re: Barcelona Ready To Sell Lionel Messi by Bossman25(m): 12:26pm On Aug 22, 2020
You are not making sense....
Messi is doubting his future at the club...so what should the club do...to dey look am abii? When they can sell and get some cash...
The players koeman is after...have you seen the news? Believing every rumour out there? Because he is dutch so you should know he will be linked with every outstanding dutch players...even Van dyjk.....
If messi should leave that is his problem, barca are not living large from him.....Barca made him...barca is giving him close to a million every week...which other club can afford that amount?
So if he goes its barca luck....besides as the saying goes...soldier go soldier come...
A team like Bayern without a single player with messi skill set is doing wonders ....so if he goes doesn't stop the greatness of Barca.
Even before he even emerged Barca has won the UCL.....
So what I am trying to say is.....it is what it is...

Thanks jare better person.
So English teachers here failing blunders. I wonder how they read newspaper and understand?
Its even better for barca if he leaves that weekly wage of his is so damn high ........
Imagine seeing Bayern a team of left over players in Gynabry....that arsenal left over...thiago barca leftover......coutinho too....performing like world best players.
