Barcelona captain Lionel Messi is reportedly able to leave the Catalan giants at the end of every season should he desire.
According to El Pais (h/t AS), the Argentinian has a clause in his contract that "allows him to opt out at the end of every year if he chooses."
Barcelona "do not fear" Messi entering talks with other clubs in January and have had similar agreements in the past with key players Andres Iniesta, Carles Puyol and Xavi Hernandez, per the report.
