Lionel Messi is reportedly planning to leave Barcelona when his contract expires in 2021, according to Manu Carreno of Cadena Ser (via Santi Gimenez of AS).
The superstar has apparently halted all talks with the club about renewing his contract after discussions appeared to initially be going well between his father and Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu.
Among the reported concerns from Messi, he believes "certain sections of the club always blame him for everything that goes wrong at the Camp Nou," per Gimenez.
According to Moises Llorens and Sam Marsden of ESPN, Messi felt he was incorrectly blamed for the firing of Ernesto Valverde.
