They are still not over him, Lionel Messi received the worst news from Barcelona and shocks United States

The whole of Argentina made the cross to Joan Laporta after the frustrated return of Lionel Messi to Barcelona in the current transfer market. If there was already a bad feeling left when the man from Rosario had to leave the club in tears in 2021, also under the presidency of Laporta, everything got worse in 2023 when the boss of the Blaugrana team was not able to manage the return of Leo eager to return to the Spain football.

Barça never sent the offer alleging financial problems, but when La Pulga decided to sign for Inter Miami given the uncertainty of the financial situation of the Catalan team, Barcelona magically began to close renowned reinforcements such as Íñigo Martínez, Ilkay Gündogan or Vitor Roque, all of them without having made any sale.

As if that humiliation were not enough, now Joan doubled the bet and secretly sent a stick to Messi during Gündogan's presentation, which took place on Monday, July 17. "We made a good economic proposal, but not the best. You preferred the prestige and history of FC Barcelona ahead of other proposals", assured the Blaugrana president.

Why was it a low blow from Laporta to Messi?

After Lionel's decision to go to MLS, the culé president changed his speech and assured that they did indeed make an offer to Messi, but that he decided to lean towards Inter Miami to enjoy football without pressure. This goes against the information of Gastón Edul, who always maintained that Leo waited until the last moment for the proposal to sign it practically with his eyes closed.
