You could say that the race for the services of Lionel Messi is already close to the minute 90 and it is a matter of days or maximum weeks before the future of the world soccer superstar is known: Will he stay at FC Barcelona or will he go to Manchester City or to another team?

Gerardo “Tata” Martino , technical director of the Mexican national team and who directed Messi in FC Barcelona and in the Argentine national team, told Real America News what he wants to happen with “La Pulga” after almost a year of reports, speculation and then negotiations around the player.

“Well, he asks me well: ‘what do I want ? ‘, because the truth is that these are very personal decisions that depend on the footballer , his environment, his family, and he will know what is obviously best for him at the end of his career “, he muffled Martino .

“I as a spectator… a footballer who is so identified with a club and who has just finished 34 years… this… deserves and should end his career with the same club “, replied the coach of Mexico.

While the Argentine star is in Brazil playing the Copa América trying to lift that trophy for the first time, the tension increases in Europe with respect to the future of ’10 ‘.

BBC reported on Saturday that the FC Barcelona raised the urgency in the last 24 hours “With the desire to announce the agreement before the start of next month” .

The maneuver of the Blaugrana club is to reduce the payroll to be able to comply with the financial “Fair Play” once Messi signs a new contract.

The club gave him a vote of confidence to Ronald Koeman to continue as coach and has added several transfers with a view to the season 2021 – 22.
