- Lionel Messi is unlikely to change his mind about leaving Barcelona, the club's presidential candidate Victor Font has said.
The club disputed the claim saying the clause expired on June 10 - with La Liga also releasing a statement saying his contract was still valid - but Font is not optimistic about convincing Messi to stay another year."It doesn't seem likely, though... if that's the case, the focus should be on making the transition as smooth as possible.
Messi, who failed to turn up for pre-season training on Monday , had previously labelled his side"weak" and"inconsistent" after surrendering the league title to rivals Real Madrid. "Currently you have the president, the chairman of the board and even some directors making decisions about signings, about selling players and that needs to be changed," Font, who hopes to succeed president Josep Maria Bartomeu in the election next March, added.
