Honestly, it would have been better for the club's management if they had just let Messi go, made good money on him and refreshed the team with new players.
Now they have no money for new players, have dirty war for the new club president and are in serious financial trouble, and they have a very dissatisfied and frustrated Messi in the team.
A recipe for the perfect disaster this season
If they made a decision you said, they would have a budget for transfer and the team rebuilding progress might be faster. Without Messi, young players will feel more confident to show up their skills and more freely to make their decisions, pass or shoot in matches.
The club fell to another drama, contract detail leak and it is another bad drama after the burofax.
Barcelona has been in chaos for a long time, there is currently a struggle for a new club president, financial losses are huge, confidential information leaks on all sides, mutual relationships are very bad and Messi is most likely leaving at the end of this season.
Barcelona urgently needs a fresh start or this could be the beginning of a long process of club decline and setback.
I think they should finally give a chance to young players from their football academy and stop buying expensive players who don’t give enough for the huge salary they get.
