Barcelona captain, Lionel Messi, has spoken out on his
situation at the club, as he enters the final six months of his contract.
Messi submitted an official transfer request last summer,
following Barca’s 8-2 humbling against Bayern Munich in last season’s Champions
League quarter-finals.
Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain were all mooted as
possible next destinations for the 33-year-old, but he quickly saw his exit
path blocked by Blaugrana and LaLiga officials.
Messi eventually made a u-turn and remained with the Spanish
giants in a bid to avoid a legal tussle.
He, however, took aim at the Barca board, accusing former
club president Josep Maria Bartomeu of failing to keep his promises.
Messi is yet to extend his deal and will be free to commit
to a pre-contract agreement with foreign clubs in January.
“The truth is that today I’m fine. It’s true that I had a
very bad time in the summer,” Messi told La Sexta.
“It came from before. What happened before the summer,
because of how the season ended, the burofax and all that. Then I dragged it on
a bit at the beginning of the season.
“But today I’m fine and I feel like fighting seriously for
everything that lies ahead, [I’m] excited.
“I know that the club is going through a difficult time, at
club level and everything that surrounds Barcelona, but I’m looking forward to
it.”
