Recently, Barcelona president Joan Laporta insisted that it was best to allow Lionel Messi depart the team.
Messi ended his 21-year engagement to the Blaugrana in 2021 when he departed Barcelona.
Following the termination of his contract at Camp Nou, the Argentina captain left Barcelona as a free agent.
Messi’s sad departure from the Catalan giants was prompted by a dire financial crisis the team was experiencing.
The president of the club insisted that it was inevitable. According to Goal, he stated, “I had to put Barca ahead of the greatest player in football history.”
“In those desperate financial times, I was unable to keep him.” It was, in my opinion, best for the club. He currently plays for PSG, therefore I’d rather not mention him.
