Lionel Messi 'banned from Barcelona training' as contract saga continues
Lionel Messi has reportedly been banned from training with Barcelona until he signs a new contract at the Spanish club.
Â
The Argentina international has been a free agent since July 1 but is still likely to sign a new deal at the Catalan giants.
Â
Despite the initial announcement that Messi would sign a five-year deal contract after being forced to accept a 50 percent pay cut in order to remain at the Nou Camp, he's yet to be signed due to Barcelona's financial struggles.
Â
His previous contract expired on June 30 meaning that he has been a free agent since July 1 but he is unlikely to agree on terms elsewhere.
Â
However, Barcelona forward will not be training with his club until the new contract is signed, according to the Spanish newspaper AS.
