Laporta Ready to Restore Relations with Messi

Barcelona president Joan Laporta has expressed his intention to improve relations with Lionel Messi. The disagreement between the two parties arose in 2021 when the Catalan club was unable to renew the Argentine forward's contract.

It is often believed that Messi specifically holds Laporta responsible for the situation. “I signed Messi's first contract when he was 16 years old.

Our journey together is one of the most honorable moments in Barcelona's history, if not the greatest. Messi deserves recognition and even a statue, but this also depends on him.

I am ready to make things right. Leo gave a lot to Barcelona, and Barcelona gave a lot to him as well.

I hope our paths cross again,” Laporta said, as quoted by Barca Universal. Currently, the 38-year-old forward plays for Inter Miami.

His contract is set to run until the end of 2028. Read “Zamin” on Telegram!
