Lionel Messi “Banned From Barcelona Training” Amid Contract Saga

As the wait for Lionel Messi to sign a new contract with Barcelona continues, the player did not show up for training. 

The first-team squad is now based in Germany and has been for the past week. 

On Wednesday, they will play Salzburg in a pre-season friendly match. 

Sergio Aguero, the club’s summer signing, was supposed to start preseason on Monday, but he returned a few days early and has been working alone at the club’s training facility since Friday. 

Emerson Royal, a Brazilian defender, had his COVID-19 and medical exams on Monday before returning to training this week.

Messi was also scheduled to return today, but according to ESPN, the club and the player have agreed to postpone his return. 

The 34-year-old would be able to use the club’s facilities as a free agent as long as he has proper insurance, but he has decided to wait until his new contract is signed.
