Carles Tusquets has revealed that he wished Barcelona would have sold Lionel Messi last summer as he pushed for a sensational move away.
The six-time Ballon d'Or winner was on the brink of leaving Barcelona last summer following an incredible 19 years after becoming disillusioned with the club's hierarchy and performances on the pitch.
However, Messi - who was heavily linked with a move to the Premier League with Manchester City - decided to perform a U-turn after Barcelona had blocked his transfer by demanding his astronomical release clause of £625million was met.
