After having raised the subject in person last night, Joan Laporta once again spoke about a possible return of Lionel Messi to Barça, while the Argentinian has one year left in Paris- Saint Germain.
“I did what I had to do in order to put the institution above the best player in our history. I have known Messi since he was a child and I love Leo. I feel in a moral debt to Messi. He is the best player in our history and I will do my best so that he can live the best end of his career in the shirt of Barça. I would like to bring him back. It will not be easy, but I think that with the right strategy we can get there. I think Messi was the most important player in our history. For a long period of success he was the leader. He was the one who got our fans excited We will do everything we can to ensure that Messi ends his career in Barcelona and is applauded by all” declared the Barcelona president, in a long interview granted to CBS.
“we have a moral debt to Leo”
Asked about the likelihood of a ‘la Pulga’ return to Catalonia, Joan Laporta then continued: “As I said, we have a moral debt to Leo. Leo’s end to Barcelona was not the best. “It was a difficult time. We had to make a decision and put the club before the best player in our history. But I think we have to work now so that Messi ends his career wearing the Barcelona shirt and being applauded on all the grounds he plays. We will do our best to give him the end he deserves. (…) We have a strategy to bring him back to Barcelona. Barca love Leo, the fans love Leo and I love him too. I’ll do my best…”
What seriously annoy the leaders of PSG, who hope to extend Lionel Messi’s contract, once the 2022 World Cup in Qatar has passed.
