FC Barcelona is currently living hard days. The azulgrana club will face this summer a profound remodeling of the team after the humiliation they suffered at the hands of Bayern Munich in Lisbon and that adds to the recent humiliations experienced in Turín, Roma o Liverpool.
In that profound remodeling that the Board of Directors, with a discredited Josep Maria Bartomeu at the head, intends to carry out a great unknown appears that is none other than the future of Leo Messi. The Argentine ‘crack’ ponders his future after suffering such defeats, aware that his football career is nearing its end and that a player of his historical significance must retire with a more awarded palmares than his, especially at the level continental and international.
As comparisons are inevitable between two players of his magnitude, his more than likely departure from Barcelona may in some way resemble the one starring Cristiano Ronaldo two years ago. The Portuguese finished cycle in a team that, after winning everything, He should have been immersed in a remodeling project that brought a year of hardships but is already bearing fruit
In that the case is very similar to that of the Argentine. Messi ends his cycle in a team whose glory days are increasingly distant and is forced to make a difficult decision. On the one hand, the player could stay at FC Barcelona and suffer a restructuring period that a priori, long. Changes in football take time and In a long-term project, successes could come to Can Barça when the Argentine surpasses 35 And its end is too close On the other hand, Messi could go out, like Cristiano Ronaldo did. I would leave FC Barcelona orphan of his only sports pillar but it would facilitate a fresh start, which did not imply the implementation of a project around a major player and what would I leave a great economic injection in the club’s coffers. In this way, the player could go to a formed team. Among his candidates would be el Manchester City o el Inter, billionaire teams with a squad capable of reaching the top in the Champions League that could deliver the much coveted immediate success before than FC Barcelona.
Why, as Cristiano and Real Madrid demonstratedSometimes a withdrawal on time is a victory, and, Despite the fact that many of us believe that a player of this importance should never leave the club, you have to know how to step aside.
