Former Barcelona international, retired Dutch international defender Giovanni Van Bronckhurst hopes that the last Argentine star, Lionel Messi, will end his career at the Camp Nou in light of reports that he may be leaving at the end of his contract in 2021.
Radio Cadena Sir indicated at the end of June Regarding the renewal of the contract between the Catalan club and the 33-year-old star, and that the latter is considering leaving the club in the summer of next year, after he was tired of the failure of the current administration to build a competitive team and tired of the leaks that leave the club and distort its image.
"I like to see Messi part of Barcelona throughout his career," said Van Bronckhorst, 45, who is currently coach of the Guangzhou R&F team. "He is one of the few players who have stayed throughout his career at the same club." "I admire him as a person and player and I hope he will stay there (in Barcelona). This is what I like to see."
Van Bronckhorst played in Barcelona between 2003 and 2007 and won the UEFA Champions League in 2006, when the young Messi had already started his impressive career. He continued: "I know him since he was 16 years old and now he is 33 years old." Noting that he is most able to make decisions about whether to leave or stay "will decide by himself, but I can not imagine Barcelona without him."
