LIONEL MESSI’S father Jorge insists that his son CAN leave Barcelona for free this summer.
The Argentine’s representatives believe that a clause in his contract allows him to walk out on the LaLiga club immediately.
LaLiga have since denied their interpretation of the clause – but in a fresh twist Jorge Messi has hit back with a letter to LaLiga.
Speaking about the letter, Spanish football expert Guillem Balague explained that it “denies LaLiga interpretation that the €700m buyout clause is still applicable.
“Jorge insists it is not applicable from the end of last season if the player decides unilaterally to leave FCB.”
He then revealed that LaLiga have hit back with a letter of their own.
On the response, Balague wrote: “LaLiga responds to Jorge Messi’s letter.
“They insist on their initial take as they reckon Messi is analysing the contract out of context and away from its literal meaning.”
