The Argentine superstar is set to bring an end to his spell at Camp Nou after almost two decades
Lionel Messi has sent Africans into frenzy on social media following reports that he has handed in a transfer request at Barcelona.
The 33-year-old has expressed his desire to leave the Spanish club after they ended the 2019-20 campaign with no silverware – the first time since 2007-08 season.
Messi’s frustration is believed to have started after Barcelona suffered a humiliating 8-2 defeat in the Uefa Champions League quarter-final against Bayern Munich on August 14.
The decision made by the six-time Ballon d’Or winner on Tuesday has left football fans with different opinions with many claiming he deserves much more in a club where he won 10 La Liga titles and four Champions League trophies while some are already linking him with a move to England.

If the news going around is true, then Messi may not even get to wear this shirt for Barca in a competitive match.
That’ll be a sad thing. And you just cannot see Barcelona recovering from the loss of arguably the greatest player to ever play the game. #LaLiga #football pic.twitter.com/0RMHl3SzTZ

Cristiano Ronaldo left Man Utd having won 3 titles, also left Real Madrid as a 3-peat UCL Champion. Meanwhile, Lionel Messi is about to leave a struggling trophyless Barcelona. You 8-2 see it!
I know my GOAT!

As a Barcelona fan I wish Messi could join Manchester City. Seeing him with manager who knows how valuable he is gives me absolute joy😍 pic.twitter.com/9vPYkMSnFM

I can’t believe it. 2020 is an absolute circus show. Messi is actually leaving Barcelona.
The most painful part, his last match had to be the most disgraceful experience in his career. Waow!

If Bartomeu resigns now to prevent the departure of Messi from Barcelona this will be his biggest achievement during his tenure as president of the club, and the people of Catalonia and Barcelona fans around the world will remain grateful for this moment pic.twitter.com/rDm2JHvciv

Bartomeu’s warts and all, Barcelona cannot, and should not, allow *any player* practically dictate the leadership of the club.
Especially not a 33 year old Messi whose best days are clearly behind him.
Hate Bartomeu or love him, he will be fully right to choose not to resign.

Messi is finally leaving.
Long overdue.
He should have left the podium when the ovation was high but not withstanding, a new challenge would definitely define his football talent.
Good luck to wherever you might find yourself
