The entity of Spanish soccer; "La Liga" has published a statement where it makes the Argentine player Lionel Messi see that the only way to get out of the Barça team is by paying the 700 million euros from its resection clause, since according to the highest soccer entity From Spain, the contract of Mr. Messi and FC Barcelona is valid and in force until today.

In relation to the different interpretations (some of them contradictory to each other) published in recent days in different media, related to the contractual situation of the player Lionel Andrés Messi with FC Barcelona, ​​La Liga considers it convenient to clarify that, once the player's contract with his club:

The contract is currently in force and has a "termination clause" applicable to the event that Lionel Andrés Messi decides to urge the early unilateral termination of the contract, carried out in accordance with article 16 of Royal Decree 1006/1985, of June 26, by which regulates the special employment relationship of professional athletes.

In compliance with the applicable regulations, and following the corresponding procedure in these cases, La Liga will not carry out the prior visa process for the player to be removed from the federation if they have not previously paid the amount of said clause.

 La Liga - 2020

Today Messi has not presented himself to the PCR tests, as if the rest of the squad did, the Argentine is determined to leave and will not turn back, so he had to stay in the stands until January and leave without giving him a single Euro of profit to the team where he has played for more than 20 years and where he has reaped more than 34 titles

To me particularly, it seems to me and to a certain extent it is logical, that the League, to pronounce itself on the side of Barca, and not the player, a game of the Argentine star, would mean a hard media blow, of economic interest and even devaluation in sponsorships and collection of rights for the Spanish league around the world, it is not the same to sell the rights with Messi, than without Messi.

So the resolution of the highest body that programs the development of soccer games in Spain "La Liga" does not seem to me the last word in the Messi vs Barcelona conflict, given their interests at stake.

This will have to be resolved by FIFA, the Courts, the TAZ, or someone else.
