Argentina's Lionel Messi is considered one of the most famous footballers in the world. He is considered one of the two greatest players of our time, while the other is named Cristiano Ronaldo of Portugal.
Macy's popularity can be gauged from the fact that he was trending on social networking sites at a time when the eyes of the world were on the Tokyo Olympics.
The reason why Lionel Messi is trending on Twitter was also strange. He has said goodbye to the famous Spanish football club Barcelona after 21 years when his contract was about to be extended.
FC Barcelona confirmed the news and said that the main reason for their departure from Messi was the rules and regulations of the Spanish football league La Liga.
According to Barcelona, it was finally impossible to fulfill the wishes of both the player and the club, which is why Messi left Barcelona.
Barcelona made Messi a star and Messi made Barcelona a star
When a 13-year-old Lionel Messi joined Barcelona's youth team in 2000, no one could have imagined that the boy would go on to lead the club to countless successes.
At the age of seventeen, he made his debut for the club and has played a key role in many of Barcelona's victories since then, during which time he also won football's highest honor, the Ballon d'Or, a record six times.
In the last 17 seasons, Messi has scored a record 672 goals in 705 appearances for Barcelona.
During this time he won 34 trophies for his club. These include 10 La Liga titles, seven Copa del Rey trophies and the rest of the UEFA Championship.
Two years ago, Messi was named the most expensive player in the world by Forbes magazine. However, did anyone know that after two years, this 'compensation' will cause the two to part ways?
What was the dispute between Messi and Barcelona?
At a time when star footballers are quick to change clubs and leagues, Messi has spent more than two decades with Barcelona.
Reject offers from many other clubs. However, the same club refused to renew his contract.
The contract between Messi and Barcelona expired last month and it was thought that the star footballers would sign a contract with their own club. However, according to a statement issued by the club's management, the pair of Messi and Barcelona is broken due to the rules of the Spanish Football League.
It is worth noting that both sides agreed that Messi would remain part of Barcelona for another five years, with a reduction in compensation and payment of a year's salary. But due to financial and administrative hurdles, a new agreement could not be reached.
For the new deal, the Spanish club had to take a difficult step, such as restructuring its financial structure. What was not possible for them at the moment and no matter how possible, Barcelona is currently a club burdened with a debt of almost one and a half billion dollars.
In addition, according to the La Liga rules enacted in 2013, no club can sign any of its players for more than 70% of the revenue. In simple words, the losing club Barcelona could not bear the burden of Messi and they have blamed La Liga rules for it.
Which club can afford to pay Macy's?
Twenty-one years later, a diamond in the world of football is free to sign with any club, but which club will adopt Barcelona, which it could not keep?
Chances are that Messi will stay in Europe, where he has lived for more than half his life, but will play for what he can afford.
If they want to be part of the UEFA Champions League this year, they will have to sign a contract with a club by early September.
They will not be eligible for the August 31 transfer deadline because they do not have a club.
According to a report, the management of Lionel Messi and Perry St. Germain are in contact. If the news turns out to be true, Messi will have to move from Barcelona, Spain to Paris, France, and he will be seen in action in the French League instead of the Spanish League.
Meanwhile, English Premier League champions Manchester City have money and space. However, the question arises as to why Pep Guardiola, who bought Jack Grellish from Austin Villa for 100 100 million, would call Messi when he could buy Hurricane Can from Tottenham Hotspur for the same amount.
He also said in an interview that Lionel Messi was not part of his plan.
According to other reports, Chelsea has also expressed interest in adopting Messi and in this regard they have also contacted the managers of the Argentine player.
If Barcelona can fix their finances and come up with a deal that will make Messi happy, the club happy and La Liga happy. So it is likely that Messi will stay where he is and the rest of the football club will have to wait a few more years for him.
