You may also wonder how serious Messi's grief is that he has to leave the club. Last year he had already made the decision to leave the club, and at the last minute it fell through. If you really love your club so much, why would he want to leave last year? I think it's a stage. with Crocodil tears.
Next day he was cheering in paris

I also think kinda the same. I believe messi that he is really sad that he could not prolong his contract at barcelona. As far as i know he does not speak french and not even english so i really believe him that he wanted to stay in Spain just for personal and comfort reasons and of course also why he really likes Fc barcelona.
If he really wanted to stay at barca at all costs then i am 100% sure that there would have been a way for him to stay there. Barca had to cust salary costs down drastically to meet the new regulations. So if Messi had been willing to give up a large part of his salary, then surely he could have stayed. I'm not saying that he would have had to do that, or that I would have done that, but there would certainly have been a possibility to stay.
This word of yours has no meaning. Messi agreed to reduce his salary by 50%. No player will agree to reduce it more. We must remember that he is a professional player. Why would he play without money? Moreover, the entire fault lies with the Barcelona management. They knew the rules. Even then they have picked Aguero and Depay in the squad this season. They could have sold Dembele. They did not. I think the whole incident is arranged by Joan Laporta.
