According to @manucarreno, Lionel Mesi has put his contract talks with Barcelona on hold. The negotiations began well, but the recent events have caused negotiations to stall.

Messi’s contract expires in 2021.

Messi’s current plan is to leave Barcelona on a free transfer when his contract expires next year, per Carreño.

He is allegedly sick of private information being filtered to the media and that have made him seem responsible for decisions that he has played no role whatsoever in.

Per Carreño, Messi is tired of playing for a club that has lacked a winning project for so long.

He has told his closest teammates that he doesn’t want to become part of the problem. He has always said he wants to stay as long as the club want him there. https://cadenaser.com/programa/2020/07/03/el_larguero/1593727289_858794.amp.html#click=https://t.co/4Yn8sUqpzt
