Recently, the contradiction between Messi and the club has become more and more fierce. Prior to this, it was even reported that Messi had suspended the contract renewal with the club and did not rule out leaving Barcelona at the end of the contract period. Therefore, the outside world has also speculated about Messi's future. Recently, the Spanish media El Pais revealed that Messi's main trouble in Barcelona was that the team lineup was not very competitive, which made him unable to get what he wanted, so Messi did not rule out considering a salary cut to join a more advanced team.
Although it is only a media report, it has not been really confirmed by Messi or Messi's team, but the news can come out, not groundless. Therefore, whether Barcelona and Messi can cooperate for a long time has been a matter of great concern to the outside world. Not surprisingly, Barcelona will hold contract renewal talks with Messi this summer, and the signing this summer will also be a key to determine Barcelona's performance next season and whether Messi is willing to renew his contract. Therefore, if Barcelona wants to keep Messi, it must consider the adjustment of the lineup.
At present, Neymar and lautaro are both players that Barcelona want to sign, but neither player is easy to start. In addition, Barcelona has limited financial resources and needs to cash in by selling players in order to buy their favorite players. If Coutinho and Gleizman are not favored by other teams, and Barcelona can't sell them in exchange for funds, then it will be very difficult for Barcelona to bring in new signings, which may directly affect Messi's future in Barcelona.
On the other hand, Manchester City has successfully appealed recently and can still participate in the European War next season. In addition, the club is about to renew its contract with Guardiola, so Manchester City will remain a very competitive team in the next few years. If Manchester City throws an olive branch to Messi at this time, I wonder if Messi is willing to join? David Silva is about to leave the team, and Messi joins at this time, which is also a good supplement. At present, in the first team of Starlight Glimmer Manchester City, the arrival of Messi can obviously make Manchester City have the strength to win the Champions League. I wonder if Messi will accept this win-win situation.
