Leo Messi: I would never take the club of my life to court

Lionel Messi stays at Barcelona and it's because he won't go to court to fight his way out.

There is a 700m euro clause in his contract that allows him to move to another club, along with a clause that expired on June 10 saying he could leave for free. 

Messi believes that clause meant at the end of the season - which was delayed until August by the coronavirus.

“There was another way and it was to go to trial," explained Barca's all-time top scorer. “I would never go to court against Barca because it is the club that I love, which gave me everything since I arrived.

“It is the club of my life, I have made my life here.

“Barca gave me everything and I gave it everything. I know that it never crossed my mind to take Barca to court.”
