Barcelona will not be able to agree the sale of Lionel Messi in January, claims Marca.
The club’s current interim board do not have the power to sanction a move for an Argentine superstar in the New Year, even if he wanted out.
With Josep Maria Bartomeu removed from a role as club president, the elections to replace him are not due to be held until January 24.
Till then, the board is basically powerless.
