Lionel Messi is leaving FC Barcelona
The Argentine striker is not expected to re-sign with the club following “obstacles” in contract negotiations, according to news reports and a statement from the club. Earlier, it was a rumor that Messi could leave Barcelona. But neither Messi nor the club clears it at that time. 
However, this time Barcelona has officially confirmed that Lionel Messi is leaving after contract talks broke down. And it is not more rumor that Messi is a free agent now.

The Argentine, who has spent his entire club career at the Nou Camp since making his debut in 2004, was expected to sign a new deal after his previous contract expired in July.
