Leo Messi Barcelona Exit Speech

Lionel_Messi‘s Barca Exit Speech:“The truth is that I can’t think of anything what to say. This is so difficult for me. I’ve been here my entire life, I am not ready for this. My family and I were convinced we were going to stay here, that we were going to remain at home.”

I have so much respect for this club. Beautiful things have happened here. At this club I have become the person that I am today.”

“I want to say it again. I am so grateful for the love that people have shown me here. I recognize your love, which I feel for you as well.”

“I did everything possible to stay here, so did Laporte. I have heard people say that I did not want to continue, but I did everything in my power to stay.”

“The news about Barça and Laporta asking me for a 30% salary reduction on Thursday is absolutely fake. It’s a lie. I offered to reduce my contract by 50%, and then they didn’t ask me for anything else”.

“It’s going to be a difficult change, especially for my family. They thought they were going to stay in this city. But I know we are going to be okay. We take it on, and we have to move forward.”

“PSG is one possibility. But I can not confirm anything to you. Right now, nothing is closed. But we are talking about a lot of things.”
