Laporta on Messi’s departure
Messi departed Barcelona in quite controversial circumstances last summer, joining French giants Paris Saint Germain on a free transfer. Months after Messi’s departure, Laporta spoke on the transfer where he admitted the club’s financial woes prompted Barcelona to part ways with their all-time goal scorer.
“Camp Nou will always be his home. His departure to PSG? We did what we had to do [last summer].” Laporta said.
Despite a hyped summer transfer, Messi has failed to replicate his Barcelona prowess at PSG, and was recently booed by his own fans during a Ligue 1 game against Bordeaux. Laporta also recently ruled out a potential move back to Barcelona for Messi, saying he wanted the club to rebuild afresh with new talent.
