La Liga giant, Barcelona have announced that its leading scorer and captain, Lionel Messi will leave the club as a result of financial and structural obstacles.

A statement on the club’s website reads, “Despite FC Barcelona and Lionel Messi having reached an agreement and the clear intention of both parties to sign a new contract today, this cannot happen because of financial and structural obstacles (Spanish Liga regulations).

“As a result of this situation, Messi shall not be staying on at FC Barcelona. Both parties deeply regret that the wishes of the player and the club will ultimately not be fulfilled.”

The Juventus striker went to that place in Courmayeur, municipality of the Valle d’Aosta region, to celebrate your partner’s birthday, Georgina Rodriguez.

However, the restrictions due to the coronavirus prevented him from leaving the city of Turin (Valle d’Aosta and Piedmont are in the ‘orange zone’), something that caused a lot of stir and could entail a sanction of between 400 and 1000 euros to the Portuguese.

Vecchia Signora’s coach, Andrea Pirlo, put cold cloths on the situation and defended his star at a press conference: “Cristiano had a day off, and in his private life each one is free to do what he sees fit. When the players are here I control them, when they leave the sports city they are free citizens and each one assumes their responsibility “.

The whole setback began when Georgina Rodríguez, who turned 27 on Wednesday, posted a video with the Bug on a snowmobile on Instagram. He immediately deleted it, but it had already been captured by various Italian media. According to ‘La Gazzetta dello Sport’, Cristiano and Georgina spent Tuesday night in a hotel in Courmayeur, 150 kilometers northwest of Turin, and they walked through the ski resort the next morning, before returning to the city of Turin.

Anti-Covid sanitary regulations in Italy indicate that the couple should not have left the city of Turin. In the case of Cristiano and Georgina, they not only abandoned their municipality of residence, but also the region, Piedmont, to enter the neighbor, Val d’Oeste, where Courmayeur is located.
