Barça president Laporta accuses PSG of being responsible for Messi’s non-return
Joan Laporta, the president of FC Barcelona, believes that PSG is responsible for the departure of Lionel Messi to Inter Miami.
It’s not me, it’s him. Joan Laporta has found the ultimate answer to justify Lionel Messi’s non-return to Barca. It’s PSG’s fault. At the end of the contract at Paris Saint-Germain, Lionel Messi chose Inter Miami rather than finding FC Barcelona.
« Messi wanted, his father too. We didn’t want what happened the other time (Messi’s departure at the last moment, editor’s note) to happen to us and we told them that we would be limited by fair play financial, explained Joan Laporta. Then, after a while, the whole contract was completed », he assured Mundo Deportivo.
« Jorge wanted to come and talk to me and told us that he had chosen Inter Miami because he had spent very tough seasons in Paris, where he was under pressure. In Miami he will be calmer and he will be able to think of the national team, again chained the boss of the Catalan club. Even if he wanted to return to Barça. He did not want to spend another year like the previous ones. It is understandable and we started to work on a great tribute Barca have to do for Lionel Messi. »
