Lionel Messi could leave Barcelona for
nothing, if he fails to agree a new deal with the La Liga giant.
Barcelona are already looking into extending Lionel Messi’s
current deal with the club. They are considering extending his contract
to 2022, or 2023, as his most recent agreement runs to 2021, three years
away.
A quirk of the contract he is under now means that he is allowed
to leave the club for nothing in 2020, as long as he does not join a
club in a top league.
Xavi Hernandez left for Qatar, and Andres Iniesta
moved to Japan, and that has extended their careers, given them a final
payday, and made sure they would not face Barcelona in any competition.
Giving Messi the same option would allow him to play for Newell’s Old
Boys while he is still young enough to influence the game, as he has
often discussed.
