Messi casts new doubts on future with Barcelona
Print Edition
A DAY after denying rumors he was considering leaving Barcelona, Lionel Messi cast new doubts on his future there on Monday.
Messi said at the awards ceremony for the FIFA Ballon d’Or that he doesn’t know if he’ll be back at Barcelona next season. He made the comment after being asked whether he’d consider returning to his boyhood club Newell’s Old Boys at some point.
Messi said in Spanish that “I am not sure if I will go back to Newell’s Old Boys one day,” adding that “I am not sure where I’ll be next year. I’ve always said I want to end my career at Barcelona but as Cristiano (Ronaldo) said: ‘Only God knows the future.’ Especially in football where things can change overnight.”
After Barcelona’s 3-1 win over Atletico Madrid on Sunday, Messi had angrily dismissed talk that he wanted to leave after clashing with Barca’s manager Luis Enrique and the club’s board.
