Urgent Bartome, ready to resign if Messi remains

Josep Maria Bartomeu is willing to resign if Messi changes his mind and decides to stay at Barça, as TV3 has advanced and has been able to confirm BRAND. The president does not want to be an obstacle for the 10 to continue in Azulgrana and fulfill his contract, which expires in 2021, so he would step aside if the footballer publicly promises not to leave.

A new twist in what can be considered a soap opera, the departure of Messi from Barça. With this move the president passes all the pressure to the player. If he’s the problem, he leaves, but for Leo to say it publicly, that’s the bottom line. It remains to be seen what the reaction of the captain, who at first had nothing to do with his position, to leave Barcelona through his liberating clause. In fact, Leo’s first reaction is that of not being shocked, because publicly Bartomeu has not pronounced himself as the Argentine did by positioning himself with the burofax. Another thing would be if the president appeared in a media showing his position in the eyes of everyone. At that moment, Messi would give him reply. So far only news in the Press


The social pressure to which Bartomeu is being subjected, to which the tabling of a motion of censure and the different voices that urge him to leave if this gets Messi to stay, have pushed the president to make this offer to Rosario, who has always tried to escape the accusations that he commands in the Barça. Accepting Barto’s mandate is little less than assuming a power that exceeds a captain, so it is difficult for Leo to follow that path because Messi’s desire is to leave and not for the president to resign.


Bartomeu is determined not to negotiate a sale of the player, claiming that the already famous clause referred to in the even more famous burofax expired on June 10, and much less to give him the letter of freedom because he is aware of the rejection that would generate in the fans.



Thus, based on the fact that the current Board does not contemplate at all a contractual exit of Messi (underlined by Ramón Planes in his appearance on Wednesday) and works on solutions to convince the Argentine of its continuity, Barto has decided to make the move. 'If the problem is me, I’m leaving,' he told his friends. Now it’s time to say it publicly and see Leo’s reaction.
