The 'bomb' of Messi that is about to explode in Barça: It can not stand!

The days, weeks and even months go by, and every so often the theme of the renewal of Leo Messi by FC Barcelona is recurrent . The matter has not yet been closed when we are practically in the middle of November, and it should be remembered that at the beginning of the summer there was already talk about it. From the entity culé insist on asking for calm to partners, fans and media, ensuring that the renewal of Leo is tied and executed , and that only lack the corresponding formalities to make it official. But that's precisely what is shaking up the club environment these days.

The newspaper El Confidencial says that Josep María Bartomeu is left without any shield to avoid being marked by the absence of images that confirm what Barcelona and its director general have been assuring for a long time: that Messi is renewed until 2021 and that the club intends to make him a lifelong renewal , in the style that Andrés Iniesta already enjoys, and of which, in addition, and always according to this medium, the Argentine already enjoys in terms of salary improvement. The Barca president alleged "agenda problems" in his day to justify the fact that there is still a picture of him shaking hands with Leo, nor has there been that multitudinous act(Real Madrid-style) to celebrate something as historic as a lifelong renewal of the most important footballer in the history of Barça. All that does not come. And Bartomeu, weak and weak image before the partners, is left without arguments.

The aforementioned media goes so far as to affirm that Messi, directly, has not wanted to make the formal signature and take the photo yet, and that there is no one in the club with sufficient strength to force him to do so. Therefore, it will happen when it has to happen. But, meanwhile, the fans remain uneasy in a situation that is not at all clear, despite the fact that the entity continue to insist that there will be no problem to continue watching the Barça player for many years.

"Everything is agreed and signed. They are three contracts; one with the Messi Foundation, which is signed with the president of the Foundation and with the player's brother; there is an image contract of Leo Messi, signed by his father, who is the administrator of his company; and the work contract has been signed by Leo's father, who has powers. " This is what Bartomeu explains in his last interviews, in statements collected by El Confidencial ; but it must be officialized. Something that would come very well to the president, who for now saved Ernesto Valverde and his good results on the pitch. But if that stops happening ... how long will it be before there is a 'fire' with this issue?
