Fans of Catalan FC Barcelona protested outside the Camp Nou stadium to support team captain Lionel Messi who wants to leave the club.

A crowd of fans, dissatisfied with the actions of the leadership of the “blue garnet”, tried to break into the stadium, where the president of the club, Josep Bartomeu, was.

They demanded to keep Messi and the resignation of Bartomeu, whose presidential term is valid for another year - until the new elections. The protests continue the second night, writes The Sun. On August 25, Messi informed Barcelona's management about his desire to terminate the contract unilaterally. Argentinian allegedly wants to move to Manchester City.

Messi's contract, valid until the summer of 2021, has an option to terminate the contract, but it was valid until June 10. It was also reported that Barcelona will agree to release Messi to the club, which will pay compensation for him - 700 million euros.

Earlier it became known that Barcelona wants to get rid of Luis Suarez, who is Leo's friend.
