“We are not considering his return” the president of Barça closes the door (again) to Messi.
Joan Laporta spoke about the rumor that suggested the Argentine No. 10 wants to go back to his former club following his struggle in the French Ligue 1.
He explains that his club has decided to invest in youth players. According to Joan Laporta, Barca have started a new project with a young squad.
The question comes up regularly on the side of Catalonia, especially since the failure of PSG in the Champions League: what if Lionel Messi returned to Barça? President Joan Laporta wants to be very clear on this issue.
“No, we are not considering his return,” he said on Monday evening on Radio RAC1.
“I have not received any message from his entourage or from Leo in this sense. Barca remain Leo’s home. The relationship is necessarily less fluid, now that he is in Paris. For me it was not easy, I would have liked things to go differently.
But I couldn’t put the institution in more danger. I think we did what we had to do. We are building a young team that is starting to work. Leo is Leo, he is the best player in the world, but we are not considering his return.” Laporta explained.
