SPECIAL INVITATION FOR LEO MESSI
FC Barcelona is preparing a series of farewells for two of its captains, Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets, who have decided to leave the club when the season ends. This Sunday, after the match against RCD Mallorca (from 7:00 p.m., 7:00 p.m. CEST), at the Spotify Camp Nou they will pay homage so they can say goodbye to the Barca fans as they deserve. However, it will not be the only celebration.
According to information from ‘Mundo Deportivo’, the club intends to say goodbye to both players separately. They would take place on Wednesday May 31, for Sergio Busquets, and Thursday June 1 in the case of Jordi Alba. They will be at the Auditori 1899 of the Spotify Camp Nou, starting at 7:00 p.m., where several players, directors, legends will meet… and Leo Messi could be one of them. The Argentine would have already been invited by the Catalans.
Without ‘answers’ of Leo Messi
At the moment, it is unknown if ‘La Pulga’ has accepted the invitation. It is worth remembering that this Saturday he will play the penultimate Ligue 1 match for Paris Saint-Germain, against Racing Strasbourg, so everything seems to indicate that Christhope Galtier will give at least Monday and Tuesday off so they can return to training on Wednesday and prepare for the last game of the season against Clermont.
In case it is so, It would be impossible for Messi to travel to Barcelona to say goodbye to his two ex-teammates and great friends. It should not be overlooked that, in both cases, the Argentine player has published heartfelt farewell messages for Busquets and Alba, so even if he does not attend the celebration at the Camp Nou, there will be no doubt that he is of ‘ heart’ with them.
Alba, Messi and Busquets: Future in the air
On the other hand, right now the three players have something in common: As of June 30 they will be left without a team and, right now, they do not have a defined destination. The latest rumors establish that they could ‘meet’ in Saudi Arabia (with Andrés Iniesta included), but nothing is certain. FC Barcelona maintains the hope of concretizing the return of the Rosario footballer, but They have not been able to advance in the negotiations because LaLiga has not given the green light, yet, to the economic viability plan that would allow them to define a specific roadmap to ‘sign’ the return of Messi.
