Future of Messi: Joan Laporta gives a layer on PSG

"Lack of respect", "club-state above the law": Joan Laporta did not mince words against PSG this Wednesday at a press conference, accused of flirting with Leo Messi, an empire of his own alone.

The election to the presidency of FC Barcelona is approaching and agitates the spirits.

“PSG allows themselves to say publicly that they want to recruit Messi.

That, Barça cannot allow, because it is a lack of respect.

And all the more coming from a club-state that goes above the law.

We must also work in this direction with UEFA and Fifa ”, develops Laporta, taking up theses previously developed by Javier Tebas, the president of the Spanish Football League.

Does Laporta use PSG to attract socios or seduce Messi?

He digs his groove since he had already attacked PSG Monday night.

Whatever Leo Messi's answer is, I would understand it.

He needs to know the club's situation, and it is becoming urgent.

It is a situation that is consolidating: he is free to negotiate with another club, and Barça still does not have a president.
