Barcelona will allow Lionel Messi to decide his future at the club. Messi has supposedly expressed his desire to leave the club this summer rather than wait until his contract expires in 2021.
This time it looks incredibly real.

Lionel Messi could be leaving Barcelona this summer and the Barcelona board have allowed Messi to make his decision over the next couple weeks.
This comes from Marcelo Bechler, a Brazilian journalist who was the first journalist to break the Neymar transfer to PSG.
But the Barcelona board are ready to allow Messi to make his decision to stay or to leave this summer, if not at the expiry of his current contract in 2021.
The Catalan side are set for major changes ahead of the 2020-21 season following their 8-2 Champions League humiliation against Bayern Munich.
According to reports from Marca, Messi is furious at a third successive European exit, following embarrassing defeats to AS Roma and Liverpool in 2018 and 2019 respectively.

Messi has been linked with clubs such as Manchester City, Manchester United, Inter Milan, and PSG.
The Argentina international is yet to agree a contract extension beyond his current deal, which expires in June 2021, despite an open ended deal being offered by the Catalan giants.
Messi's last game could ultimately be the humiliating loss to Bayern Munich where he wasn't able to influence the game whatsoever. The Argentine seemed to be outclassed by Alphonso Davies who defended him incredibly well.
What do you think about Barcelona giving Lionel Messi the decision?
