“Messi's anger? The termination date has passed …”

“I understand Messi's anger but we want him to retire at the Camp Nou. “ Josep María Bartomeu wanted to raise the white flag in his relationship with Messi and took advantage of the press appearance after the Board of Directors to send another message of reconciliation with the Argentine star. “Messi's anger? We all were. It's good to get pissed off if you lose, but the deadline for the unilateral termination of the contract had passed. I hope he stays for many years and retires at the Camp Nou “, said the still president culé of the famous Argentine burofax and his boredom.

It was on August 25 when Messi caused the tsunami in the Barcelona club communicating to the entity your intention to leave under the famous release clause of your contract. It would go free. After days of anxiety and interpretations of the famous unilateral clause, Messi granted an interview in which he reported that he was staying at Barça. In the middle, he 'forgot' the sit-in that Messi gave Koeman in training.

Now Bartomeu makes a clean slate. This Monday he continued with his campaign to strengthen ties with Messi and explained what happened after the burofax: “When I heard that Messi was angry and wanted to leave the club, we explained to him and his family that we couldn't let him go. We started a new project with Koeman and he is the first stone of the project. I understand that he is angry, but we want him to end his career here. “
