Barcelona's record scorer and talisman Lionel Messi dropped a bombshell on Tuesday by informing the club - by fax - of his intention to leave the club after nearly 20 years.
The Argentine believes he is entitled to a free transfer, something the club are sure to dispute and tell any interested clubs they must meet his €700 million (Dh3.039 billion) buyout clause.
It is entirely understandable Barca are loathe to lose six-time Ballon d'Or winner Messi, given his achievements for both club and country.
