Disclosure of Messi’s request for Guardiola’s apprenticeship

According to the Fars news agency, “Pep, I want to be your student again,” Sport magazine writes, this is Lionel Messi’s statement in 2020 to get rid of his bad situation during Bartameu’s management.

At that time, Messi had a problem with Bartameu and the conflicts between the parties were brought to the media. Messi was very unhappy with the management of the club and thought of getting rid of this state of mind.

Messi, who had a close relationship with former City striker Sergio Aguero, asked him about the end of Guardiola’s contract with City.

This was the beginning of the story, but when Barcelona was eliminated from the European Champions League against Lyon, Messi took action himself and sent a message to Pep and wrote: “Hello, Pep, how are you?”

After this message, the matter became serious and the day after this message, Guardiola hosted Messi at his home in Barcelona and talked for hours about the project of transferring Messi to City.

Messi experienced a golden era with Pep in Barcelona from 208 to 2012 and won three historic La Liga cups, the FA Cup and the European Champions League in one season.

Guardiola and Messi reached an agreement in that several-hour meeting. Pep agreed to extend his contract with City so that Messi could come, but in the last step, the termination clause of Messi’s contract, worth 750 million euros, prevented Messi from re-apprenticing under Pep.
