Through WhatsApp, Messi Leaks to Neymar Plans to Leave Barcelona

Lionel Messi is reported to have told Neymar about his plans to leave Barcelona.

When the 2019 summer exchange opened, word got out that Lionel Messi persuaded Neymar via WhatsApp to return to Barcelona.

Both of them do have closeness since playing together with Blaugrana for four years.

Rumors also evaporated as the closing session of buying and selling players.

However, a new issue emerged after France Football leaked the contents of Messi's message to Neymar last year.

In the chat, Messi said when he would leave Barcelona.

"I want you to come back. I will leave in two years and you must take over my place," Messi said to Neymar.

If true, that means Messi will leave the giant Catalunya in 2021 or at the age of 34 years.

Messi has never changed clubs since starting his career with Barcelona in 2004.

On behalf of loyalty, the owner of six Ballon d'or ignored many offers, including in 2013.

"In fact, at that time I was thinking of leaving," Messi said.

"I opened up opportunities for many clubs, but never got an official offer because everyone knew that I wanted to survive," the man born in Rosario added.

Messi collected a total of 34 trophies during the Barcelona uniform, including four from the Champions League.
