Almost a month after the news that revolutionized Barcelona, the Catalan team begins to lick their wounds after having lost the best player in their history. The club’s finances did not support and the renewal of Lionel Messi’s contract, even with a large reduction, could not materialize.
Joan Laporta, the current president of Barça, was the president who was exploited by the grenade in his hand and in charge of communicating at that time that Messi would no longer play at the culé. La Pulga said goodbye and left for PSG to face a new stage in his career.
After that situation, Laporta explained that he still did not speak to Leo again: «I think we were both in a bad way because the situation was not what we wanted. I have not spoken with Messi again. I have seen his debut with PSG and it was strange to see him in another team, a rival… I didn’t like seeing him with another shirt ».
“There was a pre-agreement and we had shook hands. There were several agreements and LaLiga seemed to accept it, but then they said no without the CVC. We did not see that it was going to improve and we put an end to the situation, “the president again clarified in the Onze program, from Esport 3.
Laporta also explained that despite the departure of Antoine Griezmann, releasing a great contract, and the salary reductions of the captains, he would not have been able to rejoin La Pulga either. The door was left open for a possible great farewell: “We’ll see if he has another one, we shouldn’t rule out anything. We will always be grateful to you. He will always be from Barça ». (Bolavip)
