Messi has conducted an interview with Jordi Évole and La Sexta that was published on Sunday night. There they asked him about the future.
– I want to play in the United States and experience life and the league there, but eventually I will return to Barcelona in some way. But I don’t think it’s very long term. Now I think in the short term, and I want to see how the season degenerates, says Messi in an interview according to AS.
The Barcelona star’s contract expires this summer. Then you can leave the club for free.
He completely rules out that he will ever play for rivals Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid.
– It’s completely impossible. I don’t know if I will leave Barcelona, I will talk more about that after the season. But I hope I can be a part of Barcelona even after my career ends, says Messi.
– I’ve left it behind
It was this summer that he became public and said he wanted to leave Barcelona.
But the club refused to release him. Messi could have sued the club, but ended up staying.
Tangled Pele’s goal record
– It was not easy at all for me, but I felt it was time to go, says Messi in the interview, according to Marca.
– I’m fine now, and I have left the episode of this summer behind. I am full of enthusiasm, but the club is tough and not in good shape.
– Difficult situation
He believes that the then president of Barcelona, Josep Bartoemeu, tried to portray him badly in the media, and says he is disappointed with that, but will not comment further.
This summer there was speculation that Messi’s desire to leave was motivated by disappointment over how his friend Luis Suárez was expelled from the club and went free for rival Atlético de Madrid. The Argentine questions that decision, but denies that it had anything to do with his choice.
The greatest betrayal in football history
But he says he has regular contact with both Suárez and Neymar. He was also asked if a return of Neymar to Barcelona will reinforce the chances of him staying.
– We will see what happens, but the club is in a difficult position financially, so it can be difficult to achieve.
When asked if he thinks the club is on the right track with new coach Ronald Koeman, he responds.
– Yes, but for him it is very difficult, since we are in a transition period. There are new players and young talents to join the team, it is difficult, explains the Argentine.
