Former Mexico international, Hugo Sanchez, has blamed Lionel
Messi’s father and agent, Jorge, for the player’s u-turn on his Barcelona
future.
According to Sanchez, Jorge gave the 33-year-old “bad
advice”.
Messi’s future has dominated headlines since last week, when
he informed Barcelona of his desire to leave the club, attempting to trigger a
clause in his contract.
Manchester City emerged as favourites to sign the six-time
Ballon d’Or winner, only for him to reverse his decision on Friday, after
LaLiga insisted on his €700million (£624million) release clause.
“That untimely burofax only strengthened the image of
Barcelona’s president and gave him time to weaken Messi’s decision,” Sanchez
told ESPN .
“Messi has had no choice but to stay at Barcelona due to bad
advice from his father and the law firm. That has caused weakness to his image
within the team.
“Before the end of the term agreed in the contract, they had
to tell the club that they wanted to leave at the end of the season and on a
free, without paying any compensation. If they had it planned, it should have
been done that way.”
