So at the time of my commenting, Messi is now a free agent.

Truly I don't want Messi to remain at Barca but I have to admit that he may inevitably renew his contract.

I don't see this Barca team carrying a Champions league trophy anytime soon as I keep saying this - that the fundamental problem of Barca is their defense and I don't see any moves being made to improve this aspect.

So if Messi really wants to compete for these trophies, I would advice him to go to Manchester City and succeed there.

I am sure they would pay anything to have him play for them.

To conclude, I am a Messi fan and whatever decision he takes he will forever remain my best and favorite player.
