Barcelona: Messi can leave for free on one condition, the ‘next Suarez’ is in Liverpool
Messi’s Barcelona contract expires in 2021 but the Blaugrana will allow the Argentinean to leave the club one year before the expiration date, the same thing that they did with Dani Alves who left Barcelona in summer 2016 to join Juventus as a free agent. His contract would have expired in 2017.
Meantime according to el Chiringuito de Jugones, the Blaugrana seem to have identified the heir of Luis Suarez in Liverpool’s Roberto Firmino.
The La Liga giants are preparing for life after Suarez as the performances of the Uruguay striker have dropped. Firmino is one of the candidates to replace him alongside Genoa’s Piatek who has been monitored several times by the Blaugrana.
