Many suppose that it's the way of forcing Bartomeu's immediate resignation; thus, if Bartomeu doesn't resign shortly, Messi will leave.
The Argentine's current deal runs until July 2021, so he's free to leave for €0 already in January.
Meanwhile, the 33-year-old remains linked with Inter Milan move.
