Former Barcelona star Rivaldo believes the Blaugrana will want to get some sort of transfer fee if Lionel Messi leaves the Camp Nou this summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 33-year-old Argentine informed Barcelona of his intention to leave on Tuesday night, which caused shock all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“At a time when every club is facing difficulties due to the pandemic, it would be a big blow for Barcelona to lose their biggest star without receiving any payment,” Rivaldo initially told Betfair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“This is the biggest obstacle for an immediate departure for Messi because Barcelona will want to get at least some money.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“It will be a sad end to Messi’s history with Barcelona if things stay that way, but this is football and sometimes things don’t go our way.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Manchester City could be Messi’s best option as his next club.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“He is 33 years old, but his quality and talent are indisputable, and I think he still has a few more years at the helm of world football.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“He could quickly start to shine in England,” concluded the Brazilian legend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
