Lionel Messi's decision to leave his club has sparked off a massive controversy involving the club's top brass.
Last week, the player sent a buro-fax to Barcelona asking them to allow him to leave for free, as per an existing clause in his contract. However, Barcelona refuses to listen to Messi and are firm that the EUR 700 million release clause is still active and if the Argentine maestro has to leave the club then the full amount needs to be paid.
