With all due respect to the fight for the Spanish championship that has reopened to him, Barcelona are mainly dealing with one thing this season: Leo Messi. Every day a variety of reports emerge regarding the stay or departure of the flea and according to a new report, and quite optimistic, he will secure his future at the club and sign a new contract in early April.
In fact, it has only recently been reported that Messi intends to leave in the summer regardless of the new management and of course he can do so for free because his current contract expires, and already now he can talk to any team he wants to play for. However, the new-old president Joan Laporta has set himself the goal of doing whatever it takes to maintain the greatest player in the club’s history and has also made this clear to him more than once.
Last night (Wednesday), Laporta was officially introduced as president of Barcelona and cracked a speech during which he addressed Messi: “I came here to make decisions, including convincing Leo to continue. You already know how much love you get here and we will do everything to keep you. You know you do not “Can leave, Leo. If Camp Nou was full today, there’s no way you’d think about leaving. What you do will be fine for us, but we’ll try to convince you.”
