Avoid going to trial with Barça
The Pulga's contract (the chip in Spanish) expires on June 30, 2021, leaving it free to negotiate with other clubs on January 1 for a possible departure next summer.
Leaving nothing to filter on his future, Leo Messi was content to say that "the club [was going through] a difficult time".
"But I am enthusiastic," he said.
SI Messi admits having "learned everything" in the Catalan club with whom he has "a relationship of love", in August the 33-year-old player wanted to leave the club which has seen him grow for 20 years.
“I felt it was the time for a change,” he continued, citing an “extremely difficult decision because I don't believe there is a better city in the world to live in”.
Not a word on PSG
He said he gave up leaving this summer because he wanted to avoid "going to trial with Barça", even if according to him, "many lawyers" told him that he would have won.
Messi clarified that he would not vote in the election of the club president at the end of January but estimated that it "will be difficult to bring players, because it takes money and there is not" .
Asked about the possibility of playing alongside Neymar (currently at PSG, a club that could discuss a possible transfer from the Argentinian), Messi was content to answer that "bringing Neymar would be very expensive": "How pay the transfer to PSG?
It will not be an easy situation for the new president.
Neymar did not say: "We are going to play together", he said: "I would like us to play together", it is not the same thing.
"
What cool the ardor of PSG a little, even if the Argentinian confirmed that he was in daily contact with the Brazilian as with Luis Suarez who left for Atletico Madrid last summer.
We would give a lot to know what is being said on this WhatsApp.
