On Saturday (9.30 p.m.), FC Barcelona will face Athletic Bilbao in the cup final. It could be the last final for Lionel Messi (33) wearing the Catalans jersey …
The future of the Argentine superstar is still unclear. The six-time world footballer’s contract with Barça expires at the end of the season.
According to Andoni Zubizarreta (59), who guarded the goal of FC Barcelona from 1986 to 1994 and was the club’s sporting director from 2010 to 2015, Messi already knows what will happen next.
Zubizarreta, who knows Messi well, told Rádio Catalunya: “There are many things that go into his decision making. It all adds up then but I think Messi has more or less already made his decision. The outcome of the cup final can confirm that, but I don’t think that it still plays a major role. “
The ex-keeper continued: “Messi has the right to decide for himself. The president (Joan Laporta, ed.) Has already said that he will do everything possible to keep Messi. If he should decide to continue playing for Barça – wonderful. And if he should decide to leave, someone else will play with the number 10 jersey because life goes on. “
