Argentine football icon, Leo Messi, will be addressing the Spanish press today, Sunday, August 8, 2021.
He is expected to speak on his exit from Barcelona after more than a decade of glorious career with the catalan club.
Barcelona announced the press conference on its Official Facebook page.
The club announced that the press conference will begin at 12 noon.
Barcelona recently disclosed that will not renew his contract with them.
The club had said “Despite FC Barcelona and Lionel Messi having reached an agreement and the clear intention of both parties to sign a new contract today, this cannot happen because of financial and structural obstacles (Spanish Liga regulations).”
“As a result of this situation, Messi shall not be staying on at FC Barcelona. Both parties deeply regret that the wishes of the player and the club will ultimately not be fulfilled.
“FC Barcelona wholeheartedly expresses its gratitude to the player for his contribution to the aggrandisement of the club and wishes him all the very best for the future in his personal and professional life.”
