Barcelona and Lionel Messi have both agreed to officially part ways. Previously, negotiations between the two parties that had been running smoothly had reached a stalemate.

After arriving in Catalunya, Lionel Messi will have talks with Barcelona on Thursday (5/8/2021) afternoon local time.
Not much will be discussed by Lionel Messi and Barcelona on that occasion. Both parties will only listen and explain about the new contract that will be signed by Lionel Messi. However, during the conversation there was one thing that made the negotiations deadlocked.
Lionel Messi's contract negotiations, which were actually finalized a few days ago, have now reached a point where the situation is impossible to return to and seems impossible to materialize. Now, Lionel Messi is further away from agreeing a contract extension at Barcelona than before.
