Barcelona leave Messi fuming as his exit looks more and more likely
Barcelona are close to a major catastrophe in the summer.
Barcelona are expected to have a productive transfer market with Ronald Koeman now at the helm. The Dutchman has already told Luis Suarez to leave the club and there’s a great likelihood that several others follow the Uruguay international. That said, the club’s dream transfer for Neymar now seems like a distant prospect.

Given that the ageing players will depart the club, including one of their most lethal marksman, attentions will turn towards signing a striker. Lautaro Martinez is the prime target for Barca, but the talks of him departing Inter Milan have recently cooled down and his 111 million euros’ release clause is now invalid, according to several claims.
Diario GOL has claimed that the Brazilian international, Neymar’s transfer could no more unfold in favour of the Catalans as Paris Saint-Germain have slapped an evaluation of 150 million euros onto him. Moreover, their recent success in the Champions League opposed to Barca’s failures may give the former Santos man enough reason to stay at the club.
Messi and Neymar may reunite after all.
Provided that Lionel Messi had demanded Neymar’s signing long back, it may well be a requisite that determines his future at the Camp Nou. Needless to say, Suarez’s supposed exit will possibly have ramifications on the Argentina international’s future anyway and the PSG forward’s transfer now being shunned could cause further damage.
As such, Paris Saint-Germain have been among the sides who are interested in sealing a deal for Messi ever since talks over his departure began. The Ligue 1 giants can easily afford to land the winger given their incredible financial prowess, and it’s a very likely prospect given that the two South Americans may finally be able to unite and Kylian Mbappe departs for Real Madrid.
