"Leo did everything". Messi’s camp reveals more details about his departure

Messi left Barcelona almost five years ago, but more details are now emerging suggesting that he could have remained with the club.

Details: According to Cristóbal Soria, Lionel Messi did everything possible to stay at Barcelona and agreed to every condition asked of him. In 2021, a contract worth €10 million had been agreed, but the deal collapsed at the last moment.

Shortly after the agreement with Messi fell through, Ferran Torres signed for €55 million.

Xavi also recently stated that Messi will not return to Camp Nou because Joan Laporta does not want it, not because of La Liga. He added that the Barcelona president told people within his inner circle that the club lacks the financial resources to bring Messi back.

Reminder: Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick used the opportunity during the post-match press conference after the clash with Athletic Bilbao to clarify the situation surrounding his most discussed tactical feature.
