Messi, ‘erased’ of the Camp Nou

On the façade of the Camp Nou there is a huge welcome panel where five footballers have appeared so far: Ter Stegen, Piqué, Messi, Griezmann and De Jong. As of this morning, this panel already has an important absence. And it is that FC Barcelona operatives have begun to dismantle the image of Leo Messi, who focused all eyes on being in the very center of the poster, and starting to make the relevant changes. It seems clear that Messi’s replacement on the welcome panel will be Sergio Busquets, as first captain, although there could be some other change among those chosen to accompany Badia, such as, for example, Memphis Depay, called to be the great signing of the summer of the blaugrana.

The FC Barcelona workers have dedicated the morning to removing the images of Leo Messi from the facilities of the Blaugrana stadium. Messi, it is history.

With this action, the scant hopes that there could be a turnaround in events in the Messi case are definitely blurred, a rumor fueled especially after information from betevé that appeared this morning in which a reactivation of the negotiations by Barcelona pointed out, with a call from the club’s CEO, Ferran Reverter, to the father and representative of the player, Jorge Messi. However, both the Argentine environment and the club itself categorically denied any type of new contact.

In any case, the club remains ready to continue burning stages in the new post-Messi era: after announcing his departure, both the president and the player himself, now it’s time to remove his image from any loophole in the Camp Nou.
