Joan Laporta, the president of the Barcelona football club, hopes that the relationship between the Catalan club and the Argentinian football player Leo Messi is not over.
It is known that Messi left Barcelona last summer, where he spent his entire career and signed a new contract with PSG.
“I believe, hope and wish that Messi’s story with Barcelona is not over. It is still open, and it is our obligation and responsibility to ensure a better end for him than he had,” said Laporta.
“I feel indebted to him. Morally, as the president of Barcelona, I think I did what I had to do, but on a personal level I think I owe him,” concluded Laporta.
Let’s remember, before leaving for Paris, the Argentine spent 21 years in Barcelona, where he arrived as a 13-year-old.
At the age of 17, he made his debut for the first team, alongside Ronaldinho.
He played a total of 778 games for Barcelona, where he scored 672 goals and recorded 305 assists.
In addition, he is the LaLiga record holder with 474 goals and 217 assists in 520 matches, and 22 times he was declared the best scorer in various competitions.
He is the owner of the “Golden Ball” who was declared the best football player in the world seven times, was recognized by UEFA as the best player in Europe three times, and was once chosen by FIFA as the player of the year.
In addition, he was named player of the season ten times in Spain, where he won the same number of titles, along with seven King’s Cup trophies and eight Super Cups.
He also won four Champions Leagues and three World Club Championship titles.
