“Barcelona” club star Lionel Messi has become a free agent. The 34-year-old Argentine's contract with “Barca” expired on June 30 and both parties have not yet reached an agreement on extending the contract. In theory, L. Messi can now sign a contract with any club and leave Barcelona without any buyout clause. As reported by the portal “Goal”, “Barca” still believes in a successful end to the negotiations. It is announced that the main questions at the moment are related to taxes and the use of the player's image rights. In addition, Messi himself demands a guarantee that the club will be able to assemble a competitive team capable of competing for trophies.
