Ronald Koeman’s revolution at Barcelona has not had the expected results.
And everything seems to indicate that the biggest problem for Koeman and the club is Lionel Messi.
Since the Argentine superstar tried to leave the club last summer, everything has gone from bad to worse for the player, the club, the coach, and the rest of the players.
According to a report from Spain, several players feel undervalued by Messi, who retains the captain’s status in the club.
It seems that Messi’s disastrous attempt to leave the club brought stress and tension to the lockerroom, as the Argentine always feels attacked.
In an interview last month, Messi said: “I’m tired of always being the problem for everything at the club.”
It seems Messi is counting the days and hours for his contract to expire and to be able to leave the Camp Nou.
Recently, the former Barcelona player Neymar referred to Messi’s situation, hinting that the Argentine could arrive at Paris Saint-Germain next season. “What I want most is to play with [Messi] again, to be able to enjoy being on the pitch with him again.
“He could play in my place. I won’t have any problems, I’m sure. I want to play with him again and I’m sure that, next season, we have to do it. ”
Manchester City is another of Messi’s possible destinations, although according to sources close to the club, they would not be interested in such an expensive and old player.
