Barcelona president, Joan Laporta, has admitted the club is
not considering bringing back Paris Saint-Germain’s Lionel Messi to Camp Nou.
Laporta also said that he no longer speaks with Messi after
his controversial move to PSG.
Recall that Messi left Barcelona to join PSG last summer.
His former Barcelona teammates like Pedri, Jordi Alba have
been urging Messi to return to the Catalan club in the near future, but Laporta
has now ruled out any possibility of the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner
returning to Barca as a player.
“It was not easy for me, I would have liked things to go
differently, but as they happened, I thought of the institution first and I
think we did what we had to do,” Laporta said on RAC1.
“We are not considering it. We are building a new team with
young players, but he deserves respect.”
He added: “I don’t speak with him, I don’t have fluid
communication with him like before he left. We hear comments from people close
to him… Barcelona pulls you a lot and when you leave you miss the city, Barça,
he had a great life here.
“I felt worse for the personal and family side of things
than the other, but also that.”
