Lionel Messi is set to remain in Barcelona . The six-time Ballon D’or winner informed the club he wanted to leave last week. But the Spanish giants have remained resolute their captain won’t leave for anything less than €700m.
Manchester City, which is rumoured to be his preferred destination, won’t be able to afford the price to avoid UEFA Fair Play policy.
A prominent Catalan journalist just tweeted: “Leo Messi to make it official: he’s going to stay at Barcelona on next season after the club refusing to sell him for less than €700m.”
Multiple sources have confirmed the report, stating Messi will address the media any moment on this new development.
