Lionel Messi: “I was very sorry to say that I want to finish my career in Barcelona”
The idea of leaving FC Barcelona at the end of this season was an old one, and Messi says he notified Josep Maria Bartomeu of his intention, but the Catalan president would have postponed it until the possibility of leaving freely expired.
“I told the club, including the president, that I want to go. I said that all year, I thought it was time to take a step back. I thought that Barcelona needed more young players, new footballers and that my time I regretted it so much that I said I wanted to finish my degree here.
It was a very difficult year. I suffered a lot in training, in games, in the locker room. Everything became very difficult for me and that was the moment when I took into account new goals.
This did not come because of the result with Bayern (no – 2-8, in the quarters), in the Champions League. I have thought about this for a long time. I told the president, and he told me that at the end of the season I could decide whether to go or stay. At the end of the season he did not keep his word.
I kept saying to myself: ‘Yes, we’ll talk, not now’, but nothing happened. That fax sent was a way of making official my wish to leave and not use this optional season. “Messi told Goal.
Lionel Messi: “There has been no project in Barcelona for a long time”
The Argentine star also explained the decision to send the fax notifying the club of his wish to leave Barcelona.
“I didn’t want to make such a fuss or be against the club, I just wanted to make my decision official. If I hadn’t sent the fax, it’s as if nothing had happened. I had the optional season and it would be continued all year.
They say I didn’t broadcast this until June 10, but I repeat, I was in the middle of the competitions at the time. In addition, the president told me: ‘When the season ends, you decide if you stay or go.’ He didn’t set a date and it would have been easy not to stay, but I didn’t want to fight with the club.
I’ve always said that I want to finish my career here, have a winning project, win trophies with the club and continue with the Barcelona legend. The truth is that there has been no project here for a long time. Covers certain holes as things happen “Messi said.
