Barcelona president Joan Laporta said Lionel Messi could return to the Catalan club this summer, but chose Inter Miami as he would not be under pressure like Paris Saint-Germain did. Laporta’s words convey World Deportivo.
“Leo wanted it too, Dad, but our rhythms didn’t match. We didn’t want any problems with fair play and told them we would let them know when we were okay. Then some time passed, the contract was fully accepted, but his father told us that Messi chose Inter Miami because he had several difficult seasons at PSG where there was pressure to be calmer in MLS.
On June 3, Messi played his last match for Paris Saint-Germain and took the field against Clermont in the 38th round of the French championship. The player’s contract with the Parisians expired in June, and he was transferred to Inter Miami as a free agent.
Before PSG, Messi played for Barcelona from 2003 to 2021. As part of the Blue Grants, he became Spanish champion ten times, won the Spanish Super Cup and Spanish Cup seven times, the Champions League four times, the UEFA Super Cup three times and the Club World Cup.
