During his speech as Barcelona’s president, Leo Messi attended the ceremony and gave the fans more proof about his future at the club.
Leo Messi’s future at FC Barcelona is becoming clearer every single day that goes by, he did it again today at Camp Nou. Although going to the new president’s ceremony is within the club’s code, Messi decided to dress with an elegant suit in order to greet his new president. Although he was wearing a mask, it was evident he enjoyed himself during the ceremony. This is a massive sign that he at least wants to give Joan Laporta a chance to make him an offer that will convince him to remain at the club.
However, the new president revealed there is no agreement yet. In fact, he let everybody know that he will have a hard time convincing him to remain at the club. As we all know, Barcelona is a very limited club on the financial front at the moment. If Messi stays, he will likely do it because he loves the club and only after getting a massive salary cut.
Laporta’s words dedicated towards Messi.
In his speech, Sport picked up the following quote about Messi: “I’ve also come here to give commands, make decisions, not run from responsibilities, and not give any excuses. In order to confront these situations. For example, I take this time to say that we will try to convince Leo to stay. Those are things we simply need to do and decisions we need to make. I will do all I can and he already knows this.
“Whatever he does, it will be okay. But we are going to try to convince him to remain here because he is the best player in football history. I’m sorry Leo for saying this in public but you know I love you and Barça loves you deeply. If Camp Nou was packed when you play, I assure you that leaving would be impossible for you. This dreaded pandemic played tricks on us in every possible way.”
