After several twists and turns, it was confirmed that Lionel Messi will not return to FC Barcelona and will continue his career at Inter Miami. The desire of the man from Rosario was to return to Spain, but the Catalans never sent him the formal offer and they did not give him any guarantees that this could happen soon. For this reason, La Pulga decided to go to the United States with a visible sadness of not having been able to have one more chapter as a blaugrana.
To the surprise of many, despite the fact that it was clear that the one who failed in the negotiation was Barça, given that Leo was even willing to play for free, Joan Laporta insisted on throwing the responsibility at '10'. Now, Xavi Hernández also spoke after the frustrated signing and what he said outraged Messi's fans.
“It is a personal decision and you have to respect it. He wants to lower the pressure levels, he wants a calmer life, ”said the Barcelona technical director in dialogue with Gerard Romero. Thus, the Culé coach released the club from responsibility again, hours after the captain of the Argentine National Team stated that he had not liked that they wanted to make him look like the bad guy in the movie.
Xavi also closed the door on Neymar
In the last few days, it became known that the Brazilian winger was interested in returning to Barcelona because he is no longer happy at PSG. Despite the fact that he has a contract, the presence of the ultras at his home exhausted his patience and his intention was to return to Spain. However, Xavi ruled it out: "What is being said about Neymar is a surprise. In theory it is not in the planning. I appreciate it very much but there are other priorities. The sports area already knows all the names."
