Luis Figo has suggested that Lionel Messi's heart no longer lies with Barcelona. The Argentine handed in a transfer request during the summer but was forced to stay at the club after a tussle over legalities.
At times this season, Messi hasn't quite looked himself in a Barcelona shirt, only scoring his first goal from open play in LaLiga Santander against Real Betis last weekend.
"I watched the thing with Messi and his attempt to leave Barcelona this summer like all football fans: expectantly and surprised," Figo said as a guest at the MARCA Sport Weekend.
"He'll have his motives and reasons for making that decision. I don't know what happened beforehand.
"Every club wants to have a player like Messi, but then it depends on factors like the current financial situation at the club, the money he'll cost the club in wages, the will of the player...
"But generally, in life, if you don't want to be somewhere, in the end there's nothing that can change your mind."

its not like messi doesn't want to be at barca... he's probably the biggest and the most devoted cule among all of us, and it's not even questionable... but the environment at barca isn't good, and even this is also not questionable... now, most of the people would join the club either due to the fact that they had a dream of playing here, or because of messi... not many would be open to join us after seeing our off the pitch condition... i believe messi's situation will be dependent on the next president... nonetheless, if he leaves, i wouldn't be mad for the fact that he left... i will be happy that he stayed for so long ❤❤❤

Love and commitment of Messi for Barcelona can't be questioned. Barcelona is Messi and Messi is Barcelona. This love will not change even if he change the club..
