In 2000, a small Argentine and his family landed in Barcelona. The Lionel Messi era at the Catalan club begins. Then President: Joan Gaspart. The reign of the Catalan businessman, who was previously deputy to José Lluis Nuñez for 22 years, only lasted three years until 2003.

That with Messi now the best player in club history announces via office fax and is already flirting with Pep Guardiola and Manchester City, enrages the ex-president.

“It’s not about money”
On “Radio Marca” Gaspart says: “Messi can’t go at all! It won’t go until 2021. I’ve seen the contract and it’s very clear. The clause expired in June and there is no turning back. I would prefer it to go for free next year than now for less than 700 million euros. Here the club is in charge, not the player. The club pays the players. And it’s not about money, because there’s a signed contract and that’s it. “

Gaspart, who is extremely unpopular with Barça fans, continues: “I love Messi a lot, but I love Barcelona more. Let them pay the transfer fee. The 700 million are fixed and the contracts are signed to keep them. “

“Even greater humiliation than the 2: 8”
The former president also believes that Messi will be put under pressure. «I hear that Messi is under pressure from people around him to leave Barça. But if I were president, I wouldn’t be negotiating a single euro. Not for a single euro! If Messi leaves for less than his release clause is worth, that is even greater humiliation than the 2: 8 against Bayern. And Messi can’t forget one thing: the fans love Barcelona more than a player. If he goes next year, well, bad luck, he’ll leave when he is 34. “

“What’s going on there?”
Gaspart doesn’t skimp on criticism: «I don’t understand why he’s leaving Barça. Well, I understand that I know these little games from professional footballers very well. We all want him to stay in Barcelona. Why doesn’t he want to stay? What’s going on there? Are the millions of club members who ask him to stay worth nothing to him? Does he think Barcelona didn’t help him become what he is now? Messi is loved very much and I hope he will stay for another year. I’d rather let it go for free next year than now for 699 million. You shouldn’t go down a single euro on the price. ” (wst)
