Messi says committed to Barca
Print Edition
BARCELONA striker Lionel Messi insisted yesterday he remains committed to the club despite a disappointing trophy-less season but would only stay on as long as it felt “affection” for him.
Messi agreed a new contract with the club worth a reported 20 million euros (US$27.4 million) net a year just last week. However, he was booed by certain sections of the Camp Nou crowd as Barcelona narrowly missed out on winning La Liga on Saturday in a 1-1 home draw to Atletico Madrid, which took the title for the first time in 18 years in a dramatic title decider.
“It is the people of (Football Club) Barcelona who will decide my future but my decision is to continue since I still sense that they feel affection for me,” the Argentine wrote on his Chinese Weibo account. “But if that were not the case I would look for a solution, because I will always want the best for this club.”
