Beijing time on March 29 news, Laporta said in an interview that Messi will not return, because the king of the ball is old, not in line with Barca's youthful strategy. Therefore, the connection between Messi and Barca can be concluded.
Last summer, Messi was forced to leave Barca, and he shed tears, after all, Messi never wanted to leave. Messi said at the time, "I never wanted to leave, but Laporta told me I had to leave. Verbally, Messi is unhappy with Laporta, believing that the latter has deceived him.
In Greater Paris, Messi took a high salary, but was not happy, in the Champions League, Greater Paris lost two legs to Real Madrid, Messi kicked and lost a penalty, and his performance was bleak. This season, Messi made 26 appearances for Paris, scoring seven goals and assisting 10 times.
Soon, Messi's father got in touch with Barca, including Xavi, Alves, Pedri and others, hoping that Messi would return!
Now, Laporta Messi hard, Messi returns? We haven't thought about it, Barca are getting younger and messi deserves respect. ”
That said, Laporta thinks Messi, 34, is too old to fit Barca's rejuvenation strategy.
Laporte also admitted that after Messi left, the relationship between the two sides became indifferent. In the past, the two had a good relationship. Today, the two have become strangers.
This season, Xavi returned halfway, Barca's record improved significantly, in the last game, Barca 4-0 hanging Real Madrid, La Liga standings, Barca ranked 3rd, one less game behind Real Madrid 12 points. In the Europa League, Barca are the number one favourites to win the title.
Objectively speaking, today's Barça really does not need Messi, in the transfer market, Barca's target is Levan, Salah, Haaland and other players. Although Messi holds 7 Ballon d'Or awards, in terms of status, it is not as good as Levan, Salah and others. And Barca also has Fati, who is recuperating. If Barca want a complete makeover, they should indeed reject Messi's return. Moreover, Messi's salary is high, and Barca is also difficult to afford.
