"According to Diario SPORT, Messi has made his stance clear in the ongoing Barcelona election process. The Argentine has decided he won't take part in or influence the election. As such, he won't be meeting with any of the candidates, including Font, even though the latter has openly admitted the first thing he will do after winning is to call Messi."
"The report does confirm that Messi's relationship with Laporta is severed. But the Argentine will still not vote in this election. This is a significant departure from recent elections, as Messi has often taken part in the process and voted. The Inter Miami star has also decided not to mention any of the candidates by name, knowing he may play a huge role in swaying the election."
