The former president of Barcelona spoke about a possible statement from the Argentine star and assured that he is not afraid of him

There is no fear of a response

Joan Laporta spoke at a press conference and pointed at Messi, saying he wouldn't be afraid of a possible statement. He talked about Lionel Messi's departure from Barcelona and a possible return, or at least one that, according to him, should have happened after his time in France, and he also expressed that he was not afraid of a possible statement from Lionel Messi.

Laporta's statements

According to Laporta, Lionel Messi's father told him that he would not continue his story at the Catalan club and would take a less expected path. "Leo had to return after his time at PSG, Jorge Messi came to my house and told me they would be better off in Miami than in Arabia or Barcelona, where they would have a lot of pressure," said Laporta. When asked about the possibility of Lionel Messi or his father speaking about the case and whether that would cause fear for Joan Laporta, he emphatically responded with a negative.

The discussion about Messi

Lionel Messi's departure from Barcelona was somewhat dramatic and unexpected, becoming a topic of conversation in all international media at the time and even continues to be so today in the debate over who wants to occupy the president's seat at FC Barcelona.
