Why would anyone want the best player in the world gone? Messi is the least of Barca's problems, He is the world's best finisher and and most creative passer and some people don't want that in the team?? Crazy.
He is 33, he wants to leave and he will most probably leave after this season. Us keeping him against his will is just prolonging the inevitable. I’d rather sell him and start to rebuild fully. We get to rebuild and he gets his wish granted, win/win.
