Lionel Messi has called off his contract renewal talks with Barcelona and would like to leave the club when his deal ends in June 2021, according to reports from Spanish radio network Cadena Ser.
Barcelona's captain reportedly is fed up with the issues surrounding the club. ESPN's Moises Llorens reported that Messi is upset with the team's front office over leaked reports that made him look responsible for certain events, such as manager Ernesto Valverde's firing in January.
Cadena Ser reports the initial contract renewal talks with Messi, his father, Jorge, and Barca appeared to be going well.
