See The Reasons Messi Is Considering Leaving Barcelona

Barcelona endured a nightmare summer, meaning Ernesto Valverde’s side face a huge fight to win La Liga in his first season in charge.

The Catalan giants lost Neymar to Ligue 1 side Paris Saint-Germain after Unai Emery’s team decided to pay his £198million buyout clause.

And they also struggled to sign the likes of Philippe Coutinho and Angel Di Maria from Liverpool and PSG respectively.

And Spanish outlet Diario Gol says Lionel Messi is now seriously considering whether to call time on his Barcelona career.

It was announced back in July that the Argentina international had agreed to sign a new contract worth £500,000 a week.

But Diario Gol say he is still unwilling to put pen to paper until certain demands are met.

Messi is known to want Barcelona to change the erratic transfer policies they have enforced in recent years.

Suarez was the last genuinely big signing, arriving from Liverpool in the summer of 2014.
