Barcelona fans have been embroiled with distress after the news of their talismanic captain’s intention to call it quit with the Catalan club recently.

Though there have diverse earlier reports that suggested that Lionel Messi’s representative, Jorge Messi has told reporters upon touching down that he did not “know anything” when it comes to his son’s future, while other further reports claimed that the older Messi had insisted that his son needs Barcelona exit.

Lionel Messi who has spent his entire senior football career with Barcelona has no doubt enjoyed some sizzling moments with handful of records that are mostly unmatched at date is aware that he is gradually approaching the twilight of his football playing days and desires to make the best of the moment.

Meanwhile, the six-time Ballon d’Or award winner appeared to have finally grown disillusioned with the activities at Camp Nou especially as the Spanish giants are gradually losing their competitive prowess both domestically and continentally thus, opening his exit doors.

However, the Barcelona fans’ relief hits its climax when Jorge Messi speaking to Mediaset maintained that talks with Barcelona went “well”, with a chance that an agreement which allows everyone to remain in their current surroundings can be reached.

National Daily further gathered that Jorge Messi replied “yes” when he was quizzed on whether his son Lionel could remain with the Blaugrana until the end of his current contract in 2021.

Expectedly, Barcelona will hope that every unwelcome transfer can be avoided at this stage, which will eventually give them time to work on the possibility of convincing their captain to jettison any plan jumping ship.
