The era of Argentine star Lionel Messi with Barcelona has ended, and he is days away from announcing an agreement with Paris Saint-Germain.
But what happened between Jorge Messi, the father and agent of the "Flea" business and the management of Barca, and resulted in this sad end for the Argentine star and Blaugrana fans?
The beginning was with an agreement weeks ago to extend the contract that was awaiting the signing of the "Bulga" and even the Catalan team's president, Joan Laporta, and it was spreading a positive atmosphere until last Thursday morning.
But the famous Spanish sports program "El Chiringuito" revealed in detail what happened behind the scenes of the debate.
The program tells that the arrival of Messi and his father Barcelona was with the intention of signing the contract with a 40% deduction from his salary, but when Jorge arrived at the club, he was surprised that Rafael Yusti, the first deputy of Laporta, asked him for more sacrifice and to deduct 70% of his salary, which left Messi’s father shocked and upset.
He added that Jorge told Leusti: "Are you kidding? It has nothing to do with money, my son has already made a big sacrifice and agreed to a huge deduction from his salary. We discussed two months ago and reached an agreement and it is supposed to be announced tomorrow (Friday)."
"Are you doing this to us? I wasn't expecting this from you," he concluded.
Jorge's anger extended and accused Laporta of using the number "10" to win the presidential election.
