Barcelona’s contract talks with Lionel Messi will always be difficult because he is the best player in the world, according to Eric Abidal.
Abidal believes Messi has never minced words about how the club is everything to him.
According to Eric, Messi has always said he is ready to remain at the club but it is obvious that discussions with players of his status will never be easy.
He added that there are conditions to be met between both parties before an agreement can be reached.
His words, “The question is for him, hopefully he continues.
“Leo has said that Barca is everything for him, that he wants to stay here, there are condition from there. We are talking about the best player in the world and having a renewal with such a player is never easy.”
On if fitness concerns will affect discussions with Suarez, “No, first you have to have respect for the players and what they are giving, what they gave and what they will give for the club in the future.
“Now he is in a situation of injury, hopefully he will recover well and from there, just talk.
“If we as a club feel it makes sense, of course we will enter into negotiations and he will also have to tell us how he feels because in the end it is about respect for the club and for the team.”
On Coutinho, “Bayern is very happy with Philippe and Philippe is also very happy there,”
“From there, it is true that they have a choice [to do a permanent deal], but we have to do our planning with those at home and on loan and then see what happens.”
