Argentine football player Lionel Messi commented on his decision to refuse "

The 35-year-old football player is quoted by Sport. es.

" But, on the other hand, I did not want to go through this situation again and wait for everything to turn out.. Didn't want to leave my future in someone else's hands. I wanted to make my own decision in the interests of my family.

Heard that La Liga approved everything, but a lot was missing. Heard. that the club had to sell players or cut their salaries. The truth is, I didn't want to go through it again, take on that kind of responsibility, or have anything to do with it..

During my career at Barca, I have been accused of many things that are not true, I am tired of this. I was afraid that the situation would repeat when everything was agreed with La Liga, but the contract was never signed, and I had to go to Paris and live with my family in a hotel, waiting for the denouement.

We won the World Cup, but then came the difficult stage. I want to enjoy football again, spend time with my family.

For this reason, the return to Barcelona did not take place,"
