Barcelona directors are refusing to meet with wantaway captain Leo Messi.

It would have been the first time the two sides had come together since Messi's bombshell burofax was sent to the club on Tuesday telling them that he wanted to leave on a free transfer.

If Messi's people are denied a meeting there is the possibility of the superstar not turning up to the training ground for the first day of pre-season on Sunday as he tries to force a move to the Etihad.
