Messi is no longer a Barcelona player: contract expired, first day as a free agent

Lionel Messi He's no longer a Barcelona player. It's an official fact: the Argentine is currently a free agent, as his contract with the Blaugrana expired on June 30th, at midnight today to be precise. This is certainly a shocking development, even if his relationship with Barça seems destined to continue: Messi continues to favor a contract renewal and will soon, almost certainly at the end of the Copa America he's playing with his national team, sit down with the management to finalize the deal. The fact remains that as of today, and for the next few days, the six-time Ballon d'Or winner will not have an official team.

The agreement was reached around that figure, to which various bonuses will be added. The player, however, has a contract until 2026. His medical has already been scheduled, and then it will be official: Sancho, born in 2000, has made a name for himself in Germany after being "offloaded" by Manchester City's other club. He's currently playing for the England national team at the European Championships, where he's been getting less playing time than expected. Once the tournament is over, he'll sign a five-year contract with the Red Devils.

AC Milan are closely monitoring Mikkel Damsgaard. Gazzetta dello Sport reports: the 2000-born midfielder plays for Sampdoria and, more importantly, is making a name for himself with his Danish national team at this European Championship. His goal, among other things, was the opening goal against Russia, which allowed Denmark to qualify for the tournament's round of 30. He's a talent perfectly suited to the Rossoneri's strategy, but they're not interested in bidding: owner Ferrero has set a high price, placing him at €50-XNUMX million. Maldini and Massara will try to include Andrea Conti in the deal as a counterpart: a protégé of D'Aversa, who will soon become the Blucerchiati's new manager, and who could bring down the fee.
