Leo Messi: I really wanted to return to Barcelona

The world champion said he really wants to return to Barcelona. “I really wanted to return to Catalonia, I was very happy to return, but after the previous experience, I didn’t want to go through it again and end up in the same situation: waiting for what will happen,” says Messi

“I heard that Barcelona would have to sell players or take pay cuts and the truth is I didn’t want to go through that,” he said.

Leo Messi explains his decision: wanted to get out of the limelight

Leo Messi also explained in an interview why he decided to move to Inter Miami. “I decided that when this deal to return to Barcelona failed, I would leave Europe to get out of the spotlight and think more about my family. I decided to play in the United States in order to take a fresh look at football.

Asked if he thought Barcelona had done everything possible to bring him back to the club, the Argentine replied that he didn’t know. “That’s their business.” To be honest, I don’t know if they did their best or not.

“They said they got permission from the League to do it. But a lot was missing, because today the club could not confirm 100% that I can return. And that’s understandable given the situation the club is in.”
