Barcelona's great head coach Xavi shared details of Lionel Messi's recent return to the Catalan club in 2023. According to the words of the Spanish leader, the Argentinean's move would be very beneficial, however, the benefit was lost through the decision of the club.
Xavi confirmed that he was in contact with Messi after the 2022 World Cup, and the Argentinean was seriously considering the option of returning to Barcelona.
" It's 2023, after having become the champion of the world, we contacted him, and told me that the battle might turn around. I learn from the team. We fiddled until the end, and I said to him: If you give me green light, I will inform the president, because from a football perspective, I am absolutely in love with him at the warehouse."
Following the words of the great coach of the Catalans, negotiations with the footballer’s homeland were ongoing, and the club, having rejected it, allowed the La Liga administration to formalize the agreement.
“The President began negotiations on the contract with Father Leo, and he soon allowed the League to. Ale the president himself is zupiniv everything"
Xavi also confirmed that Joan Laporta explained his decision with possible problems for the Messiah himself.
“Laporta told me literally this: as soon as Leo turns around, he will start a new war against him, and we cannot allow him to do so.”.
After this, according to Havi’s words, contact with the Messiah actually ended.
“Then Raptovo Leo stopped responding to my calls, because on the other hand, they already told me that it was impossible. I called my dad and said: You can’t do that, Jorge. A Vin Vidpovi:
Talk to the President"
The Barcelona ex-manager added that the club was planning a special season with Messi, which would mark the symbolic end of his career in the Catalan team.
“We have been sleeping with Leo for five months now, everything is actually ready. From a football perspective, there are no doubts, from an economical point of view, we are going to Montjuica and we are in control of the rest of the dance, like Michael Jordan, everything was ready,” Xavi summed up.
Guess what, at night Leo helped Inter Miami defeat DiCi United (2:1) on the road, the Argentine scored his 899th goal against? ery.
