Barcelona captain, Lionel Messi, has told the club to
terminate his contract, so he can leave as a free agent, Marca reports.
Messi is understood to have told the Catalans, to activate a
clause in his contract, which allows him to leave the club at the end of the
season.
However, both parties have disagreed over when the season
actually finished.
Barca feel the clause could only be activated by the end of
June, while Messi feels the campaign ends in August.
According to Spanish football expert, Guillem Balague, this
is likely to result in a standoff and Messi refusing to undergo preseason tests
or training.
Balague tweeted: “He has no intention to do the preseason
tests or start the training sessions with Ronald Koeman. He had told the coach
already that he saw himself ‘closer to leave than to stay’.”
