Joan Laporta could not renew Lionel Messi, who had to say goodbye to FC Barcelona unexpectedly and in tears. Now the president of Barça has once again made it clear that this wound is still bleeding and he once again winked at the number ’10’, the brand new world champion with Argentina during the last World Cup in Qatar.
‘Relevo’ has collected some statements from the Blaugrana president on Joe Pimplano’s YouTube channel ‘The business and money behind sports’, in which he refers to the Argentinian’s situation. “I need to find a way to improve Messi’s current relationship with Barca. We’ll see, but he knows that Barça’s doors are open,” Laporta said in an interview on February 28, although published on March 23.
This is how the culé leader expressed himself. “The legacy I found myself when I became president was not good and I had to make a decision that I am not satisfied with,” he said.
When asked about the best player of all time, Laporta qualified as follows: “Messi is the best player in history. He has been the most important player in Barca’s history. I have to be very careful what I say. Messi is a PSG player and I have to respect,” assured Laporta, who repeated about ‘The Flea’ that is “Leo knows we have it in our hearts. It’s part of our shield,” he added.
Despite the constant rumors about his possible return to Barcelona, nothing has changed. There has been no formal offer from FC Barcelona for Messi, nor any approach from the Argentine ‘crack’, who remains in open talks to extend his contract with PSG, which expires on June 30.
