According to "Sport Italia," the reason for Messi's deteriorating relationship with Barcelona stems from the Argentine player Cristian Romero, a player from Atalanta, nearing a transfer to Tottenham. This is considered the main reason for Messi's inability to remain at "Camp Nou," as the Argentine star Lionel Messi was disappointed with the team built by Dutch coach Ronald Koeman.
Barcelona officially announced on Thursday evening the departure of their historic top scorer, the legendary Lionel Messi, due to financial difficulties. "Sport Italia" noted that "Barcelona failed to compete with Tottenham for the transfer of Argentine defender Cristian Romero from Atalanta, which led to the breakdown of Messi's relationship with Barcelona," according to Russia Today.
The report clarified that Messi was highly impressed with Romero’s abilities during Argentina's journey in the "Copa America," which the "Tango" team won. The network emphasized that Messi urged Barcelona to sign the 23-year-old player. With Romero leaving Atalanta and nearing an announcement of his transfer to Tottenham, this is seen as the primary reason for Messi's failure to stay at "Camp Nou."
