Until a few weeks ago was just a suggestion: the departure of Messi at Barcelona clashed with the will of the player to stay in Spain, where it has always had a great time, and especially with the monstrous out clause (250 million euro) which has always dismissed any suitor.
But things in football, they change all ‘sudden and recent events in the house Barca make it possible, if not likely, that would probably be the most sensational transfer in the history of the sport, and certainly the most expensive.
The facts are these: Messi now at loggerheads with the coach, Luis Enrique, who led Barcelona to its methods rather tough, to say the least. Spanish media report that a furious Messi, who accused Luis Enrique to be a dictator, the “master” of the locker room and treat it just like all the other players. An attitude in principle unobjectionable, which however had already created more of a problem at the same time as coach Enrique’s Roma Francesco Totti, another champion difficult to pin down as any one player.
The straw that broke the vase was the exclusion of Messi, due to the absence of the player in a workout for gastroenteritis probably “political”, dall’undici holder in the opening match of 2015 then lost by Barcelona against Real Sociedad. The sign of a break hard to reconcile, despite the frantic work in this sense of two senators of the locker room blaugrana as Xavi and Iniesta.
To complete the picture there is the precarious internal situation of the club, just back from the Adda of two real columns as Zubizarreta and Puyol: the first fired by President Bartomeu, after four years as sports director, the second ready to announce the separation from the club for reasons of personal growth, but probably just a result of the dismissal of Zubizarreta who was very attached.
The same Bartomeu has tried to bring a little ‘of tranquility denying the problems between Luis Enrique and the dressing room (and Messi in particular) confirming both the coach, is the non-transferability of the player, in addition to call early elections by the end of the season: elections which obviously will recur. But the situation remains complex and the departure of Messi could take shape.
The first move in this direction has made Chelsea who contacted Jorge Messi, the player’s father, to see if there are margins groped for the coup of the century. Reportedly in England Mourinho, who would do anything to have the Flea, has already convinced Abramovich to pay 250 million euro to meet the release clause of champions Argentina. Money that could be included, at least partially, with a campaign targeted disposals and with the inevitable increase in image rights of which Chelsea would enjoy with Messi in the team.
Can not? Never say never, especially when it comes to Barcelona: a workshop dear, no doubt, but a shop where you can buy anything. Just remember that just departed from Barcelona Diego Maradona and Ronaldo (Phenomenon) landed at Napoli and Inter. And at an even more distant a certain Luisito Suarez: with money collected from father Moratti built the new stadium in Barcelona … Players of the level of Messi and, just as he judged non-transferable until the day before signing the new contract.
In Barcelona, in short, even the fans are accustomed to the supply excellent, especially if they bring a great benefit to the coffers of the company and make it possible investments otherwise unobtainable. A calculation altogether Bartomeu President could have done.
