Messi

In the summer of 2020, the Argentine expressed his desire to leave Barcelona and worked for it, but a series of misunderstandings made him agree to stay one more year so as not to legally harm the Blaugrana club. In the summer of 2021, when Messi was convinced to stay at Barcelona even if he had to lower his salary in the new contract, at the last moment, Joan Laporta told Jorge Messi that they could not sign the contract for budget reasons.
