“All the best in whatever comes my way, buddy.
And always with that smile.
I love you pa ”, wrote this Saturday the historic Manchester City striker to his friend, with whom for more than 15 years he has shared youth and senior teams.
The publication of Kun, who will wear the 19 shirt, was given in the middle of the 10th Rosario's farewell dinner at his home in Barcelona.
Barcelona announced the call for its players minutes after the emotional press conference in which Messi said goodbye to the club after 21 years.
Kun was not present in the 1899 auditorium, nor was Jorge Messi seen.
