Barcelona’s Laporta Speaks About The Move To Bring Lionel Messi Back To Camp Nou
Barcelona is assembling a team of young players and is not considering bringing back Lionel Messi, according to club president Joan Laporta.
According to Naija News, the Catalans are making steps to convince Messi to leave Paris Saint-Germain and return to Barcelona.
Laporta, on the other hand, has vehemently denied the news, claiming that there is now a communication schism between him and the Argentine star.
According to Naija News, Messi left Barcelona as a free agent last summer to join PSG.
Former Barcelona teammates such as Pedri and Jordi Alba had urged the 34-year-old to return to the Catalan club in the near future, but Laporta has already ruled it out.
He admitted that seeing the now seven-time Ballon d’Or winner leave Barcelona was difficult for him and the club.
Larpota, on the other hand, stated that the club has now moved on with a new group of players.
“It was not easy for me; I would have preferred that things had gone differently, but as they transpired, I thought about the institution first, and I believe we did what we needed to do,” he added.
“We are not thinking about it.” “We’re putting together a new squad with young players, but he deserves to be respected,” Laporta said on RAC1.
“I don’t communicate with him, and I don’t have seamless communication with him like I did before he went,” he continued. We’ve heard from those close to him… Barcelona has a strong hold on you, and when you leave, you miss the city, Barça, he had a wonderful life here.
“I felt harder for the personal and familial side of things than for the professional side, but also for that.”
