On the day PSG arrived in Barcelona for a crucial match, the club’s supporters gave the French giant’s chairman a “warm” welcome.
PSG is set to face FC Barcelona on Tuesday at Camp Nou with their chairman watching from the stands during the game. Nasser Al-Khelaifi is a disliked individual in the Spanish city due to his many advances toward Lionel Messi. He is the one who keeps pushing the players and the manager to talk about Leo’s future. As PSG comes to the Catalan city ahead of this Champions League match, his intentions remain unclear.
All we know is that Nasser wants the player to be as distracted as possible for this match. It’s still unclear if he really does want to buy Messi or this is just a tactic. While we all figure this out, the Barcelona supporters want to let him know he is not welcome in the city. As soon as he arrived, the supporters were there to “greet” him with a heated response to his attempts. The fans obviously don’t want Leo to leave and Nasset is getting in the way of their wishes.
Can Al-Khelaifi sign Messi?
There is only one chance for PSG to sign Messi next summer but a few things need to happen first. For starters, the French giants would have to eliminate Barcelona in this stage of the competition without Neymar. Messi would have to complete another disastrous collective season at FC Barcelona. But the most important aspect of this is Joan Laporta, who is constantly declaring war against PSG.
If the candidate wins the upcoming elections, the French club can forget about Messi. The club’s captain is waiting for Laporta to become president in order to announce he won’t leave the club. Joan has the only project that truly convinces Leo to remain at the club and retire there. In the meantime, Nasser Al-Khelaifi will keep getting these “warm” welcomes for trying to steal Messi from Barcelona.
