But in the burofax, which has revealed ‘Mundo Deportivo’, Messi argue the following: “I understand that the time frame of the right of unilateral termination without alleging cause governing the said clause shall be construed in accordance with the exceptional circumstances in which the season has developed.”
Thus, the current player of the Paris Saint-Germain assert that “because of this exceptionality, the 2019-2020 competition season ended yesterday (the burofax was sent on August 24), notwithstanding that for” the Boat “This completion would take place on August 15” after the removal of the Champions League in front of the Bayern Munich.
Messi considered that the season officially finished the 23 of August, the day that was disputed in Lisbon the final of the top continental competition between the Bayern and the PSG, Who would end up winning first. For this reason, the former player of the Boat he asked for his contract to be terminated on 30 August.
But the then Barça president Josep Maria Bartomeu it refused to give effect to the petition because it considered that the exceptionality of the coronavirus pandemic did not alter clause 3.1 and that the time limit for accepting it had expired two and a half months earlier. Faced with this refusal, and arguing that he did not want to take the club of his life to court, Messi announced on September 4, 2020 that it would continue in the Boat.
