Javier Mascherano's surprising departure from Inter Miami for "personal reasons" in the middle of the season has left many unresolved questions. The 'Jefecito' did not give too many explanations in his farewell and what was initially handled was more in the general sporting than in something more concrete
The team's problems at the start of the season and, above all, the elimination from the Concachampions, a competition that had become a central objective for the club, were the reasons that were thought to be behind it. However, in the last few hours, other rumors are circulating that point to two important players as the culprits for the coach’s decision
The famous Argentine journalist Toti Pasman leaked a version in which two of Leo Messi‘s teammates were allegedly the cause of his departure. “What I have is that Mascherano is not leaving because of personal problems. An uncomfortable relationship with De Paul. Mascherano did not ask for De Paul; De Paul, a very important guy in the dressing room who was not asked for by Mascherano. Dressing room discomfort,” Pasman said on his DirecTV program
And he added another name: "And a worn relationship with Luis Suarez, whom Mascherano took out because he did not see him well physically. And the other day he scored a goal, made a gesture… worn human relations”
Messi remains silent after Mascherano's departure
Guillermo Hoyos has taken over the direction of the team while the club decides whether to bring in a new coach. Meanwhile, Messi has also not commented on the matter after he always supported the arrival of Mascherano when he replaced Tata Martino, who curiously also left for personal reasons.
