Barcelona, ​​listen to Laporta: “If Messi says no to renewal we will go ahead and build a new history of the club”

Joan Laporta is ready to return to the presidency of Barcelona. Once again a candidate for the number one position of the Blaugrana company, the 58-year-old coach has returned to Europa Press address various hot topics such as the future of Lionel messi.

Laporta: “If Messi says no to renewal, we will continue”

Laporta immediately addresses the hottest topic: whether or not Lionel Messi will stay, whose contract will expire in the summer of 2021: “If Messi says no to the renewal, we will take it with sportsmanship and we will have to continue ”, explained the presidential candidate of Barcelona. “It will not be an impediment for us. We are sure that we will make the club competitive by starting a new stage in history ”. And about the possibility of having the “new Messi” at home, or the talented Ansu Fati. “I want to make it clear that Ansu Fati is not the ‘new Messi’, and say that it is a mistake. Sometimes if you skip a few steps, you don’t make a good contribution to a footballer’s career. Ansu Fati has great natural talent, it is true, but you have to accompany him and help him on his path of growth. As we did with Leo, Pedro or Sergi Roberto ”.
