Messi Barca hints played down
Print Edition
LIONEL Messi’s father, who acts as the player’s agent, has downplayed the stir his son caused by hinting at an exit from Barcelona.
Jorge Messi told Barcelona-based La Vanguardia newspaper yesterday that “the plan is to stay here, but since people read between the lines they exaggerate”.
He said: “Leo is happy, but if one day the club says, ‘We have an offer for you, we want to sell you,’ well, we would have to study it.”
Lionel Messi said on Tuesday that he would like to stay at Barcelona but “sometimes not everything happens the way you want”.
Messi indicated that the club’s current situation — with losses on the field and a new coach in Luis Enrique — could change things. The 27-year-old Argentine, Barcelona’s all-time leading scorer, is under contract until 2018.
Last May, Barcelona said it had improved the terms of his contract.
