Messi looks like he could finally leave Barcelona at the end of this season, having not yet signed a contract at the Nou Camp, which would see him become a free agent in the summer.
It has been just over six months since the six-time Ballon d’Or winner tried to force a move from Barcelona in the summer, following a series of disagreements of how the club was run under the previous president Josep Maria Bartomeu.
With Barcelona faltering in the league, lying in third position, eight points behind league leaders Atletico Madrid who the Catalan club gifted Luis Suarez to, much to the Argentinian’s surprise, as well as the humiliating 4-1 home defeat to PSG in Champions League, it looks as though Messi’s time at Barca may have ran its course.
