New Barcelona president Joan Laporta has come out to urge Lionel Messi to stay at the club. He recently revealed that Messi already knows he was a major part of the stability Barcelona had during his first spell as club president.
According to him, one of the major decisions everyone is expecting him to take is convincing Messi to remain at the club, and he intends to do just that.
He added that Messi knows the affection he has for him, so he’ll do everyone possible to make him play for Barcelona next season.
His words, “In our first spell we had the best players in Barca history, but if we were successful it was because we had stability,”
“It is Barcelona’s unity which gives you stability and I invite everyone at Barcelona to think about what they can do for Barca.”
“I am here to make decisions, like convincing Leo to carry on, taking advantage of the fact that he is here. He knows that.”
“You know the affection I hold for you and we will do whatever it takes to keep you here. You know you cannot leave, Leo.”
“We will not be able to do it alone. As our anthem says, we are strong all together. More so in these most difficult times. We know how to do it.”
“When the pandemic is over our revenue will return. That will be fixed. There will be strong leadership, because I am well-accompanied. We will make decisions. To defend the club you have to live and breathe it and we do that as much as possible.”
