Paris Saint-Germain coach Mauricio Pochettino reveals that as soon as the professional manager of the luxury club - Leonardo, first informed him that there was a chance they would sign Leo Messi, he thought he was doing an exercise for him.
"Leonardo called me and said, 'The possibility exists. Would you like it?' I said to myself, 'Is that a question?'
I thought it was a joke of course, 'said the Argentine.' I told him: 'Should we go get him?
Do I have to drive? '
Then the negotiations began.
From then on, Leonardo would call me every night to tell me what the situation was. "
Messi joined PSG as a free agent on August 10, days after Barcelona announced they were unable to sign his new contract due to financial constraints.
"Many clubs, if not all clubs, dreamed of getting Messi, when he would be a free agent. From the moment PSG showed interest, Leo wanted to get here. It all happened very quickly. We must emphasize the work done by Leonardo, our president and all the club managers. "In two or three days, they managed to complete the signing of the best player in the world."
On Ambape's future he said: "The club will try to convince him and entice him to stay. He is 22 years old but very mature. I have no doubt Killian can face any challenge the future will bring him. He will make the decision he needs to make and the club will do everything possible to keep "He is one of the best players in the world."
