Argentinian can negotiate with other clubs from January‘I’m feeling fine but in the summer I had a very bad time’Lionel Messi has admitted the ill feeling between him and
Barcelona over his attempt to leave the club in the summer affected his form at the start of this season, in which he has posted his lowest goal and assist tallies in 13 years.
Messi caused consternation in August when he sent the club a burofax (official notice) stating his desire to move on but Josep Maria Bartomeu, the club president at the time, blocked the move and the Argentinian committed to stay this season to avoid a legal battle. He has less than seven months left on his contract and is able to negotiate with other clubs from January.
