The father of the Argentine star, Lionel Messi, and his agent, Jorge, broke his silence, describing the news of his son's negotiations with the French club Saint-Germain with lies and fake news.
The Spanish newspaper "Marca" quoted Jorge as saying that "what is being promoted in the media that Messi is in negotiations with Saint Germain to move to him are just lies."
"Stop spreading fake news," Jorge said.
The news of Saint Germain’s entry into the negotiations with Messi was published by the American sports channel ESPN, and reported that the French club’s management was preparing a tempting offer for the Argentine star.
On the other hand, Jorge denied the validity of this news, and said that his son had not negotiated with any club.
It is noteworthy that Lionel Messi's contract with Barcelona expires in the summer of next year, and, starting next January, he can negotiate with any club he wishes to move to for free in the summer of 2021.
Marca said that Messi does not rule out renewing his contract with Barcelona, but with conditions, on top of which is the identity of the club's next president.
