Messi hits out at Barca official
Print Edition
Lionel Messi criticized a Barcelona vice president yesterday for saying the Argentine didn’t deserve a better contract.
Javier Faus, the vice president in charge of Barcelona’s finances, said two weeks ago he didn’t see a reason to further extend Messi’s contract. Last year, the club extended the 26-year-old Messi’s contract through 2018.
“Mr Faus is a person that doesn’t know anything about football and wants to run Barcelona like a business, which it isn’t,” Messi told Catalan radio RAC1. “Barcelona is the best team in the world and deserves to be represented by the best executives.
“I remind him that neither I nor any of my representatives have asked for a contract extension at any moment.”
Messi is Barcelona’s all-time leading scorer and a four-time FIFA world player of the year. He is in Argentina recovering from a hamstring injury and expected to return to Barcelona in January.
Messi rarely speaks about the business side of his career. This is the first time he has openly criticized an important board member of the club he joined when he was 13 years old.
