Messi has asked to leave

[BenArfa10]

Barca have confirmed he’s asked to leave.

I was against the takeover buy got admit it would have been mint if we had a chance of signing him.

I own all his shirts bar 2 seasons. Can’t say I’ll buy another one if he joins an English club that’s not us.

Had to leave though, Barca are in a state

Not sure where he'd go.

If in Europe he needs to be somewhere he wins, or it tarnishes his legend.

I reckon he might go back to Argentina.

Think it's a play to get a director out of club.

Wouldn't surprise me.

Messi is very political.

He's done it before, although never publicly, usually it's just a quiet word.

See if he fancies playing in Brucies all out attcking team.

sounds like it. President is apparently resigning and sneaking out the stadium to avoid angry fans gathered outside Camp Nou.

I doubt he will leave. If he does, I think he'll go to Newell's in Argentina to finish his career.

He just turned 33 and I doubt he has the physique to go on at the same level Ronaldo has. I think Messi is the better player, but he doesn't have quite the same athleticism IMO.

If he does go to say City he could probably pull a few seasons off though.
