Last season, Barcelona had their worst campaign ever in a term in which the Catalans failed to win any trophy for the first time in twelve years.
They suffered an embarrassing defeat against Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarterfinal which made the club’s chief to fire manager Quique Setien.
After being appointed as the new manager at Barcelona, Ronaldo Koeman decided to meet his wards on how they will succeed as from next season.
But according to the report by Radio RAC1, his meeting with captain Lionel Messi was not that fruitful as the Argentine is already considering leaving the Catalans.
The report added that Lionel Messi even ended his summer holiday on Thursday, August 20, so as for him to sort out his future with the Barcelona chiefs. Messi who has never played for any other club than Barcelona has one more year left on his deal at the Nou Camp.
There have also been reports that Barcelona president Bartomeu claimed that Lionel Messi will end his career at the club. Meanwhile, Manchester City are said to be interested in signing Lionel Messi and link him up with his former manager Pep Guardiola.
