Who was behind Messi's departure from Barcelona?

It's been more than a year since Lionel Andres Messi put an end to his glorious stage with FC Barcelona. There were many suspects who was to blame for the departure of Messi, Pique, Laporta, money, Bartomeu... now the true answer is finally revealed.

It was said after the departure of Lionel Messi that Gerard Pique would have betrayed the Argentine, because despite the fact that in principle they had a good relationship, it was commented that the Spaniard would have practically asked for Messi's departure, to start a new project without him.

In addition, Guillem Balagué, Leo's official biographer, indicated in a new chapter of his book that everything was agreed in 2021 between the club and Messi so that he does not move from Spain. However, Laporta decided to break the negotiations and forced the '10' to leave everything in Catalonia and accept the offer from PSG, a club with which he ends his contract in mid-2023.

Laporta and the alleged culprit behind Lionel Messi's departure:

Now, at a press conference and while he dreams of Lionel Messi's return to FC Barcelona, Laporta accused Javier Tebas, president of La Liga, of being to blame for Leo leaving almost two seasons ago. “Thebes wants to control Barça from a distance. In 2005, being vice president of Alavés, he wanted to prevent Messi from playing for Barça and in 2021 he didn't even want to play here either. He does not forgive us for not signing CVC and leading the Super League. At Barça, the partners are in charge, not Tebas ”, he pointed out.
