Almost 20 years of Lionel Messi's love affair with Barcelona has reached a breaking point - the Argentine decided to change teams for the first time in his career. On Tuesday, the media was shaken by news that L. Messi sent an official letter in which Barcelona's leaders saw the Argentine's decision to leave the club. L. Messi's contract with Barca is still valid for another year, and it includes a buyout clause of 700 million euros. However, L. Messi intends to leave the team as a free agent. Last week, Brazilian journalist Marcelo Bechler, who announced L. Messi's intentions to leave Barca, now writes that L. Messi has already decided on his next career move. He claims that L. Messi sees himself working with Pep Guardiola again, so negotiations with Manchester City could start in the near future. The English club has been interested in the Argentine's services for many years, but now the situation has changed drastically, so the chances of L. Messi finally arriving in England are very high. Having scored 634 goals in 731 matches for Barcelona, the Argentine does not plan to show up at the training center anymore.
