Barcelona have issued a statement in response to Lionel Messi’s decision to head to the MLS and sign for Inter Miami.
Messi had been keen to return to Barcelona but a deal could not be done, and the Catalan giants have now issued a statement wishing the GOAT well.
“On Monday, June 5, Jorge Messi, the player’s father and representative, informed club President Joan Laporta of the player’s decision to join Inter Miami, despite having been presented with a proposal from Barça, in consideration of the desire of both FC Barcelona and Lionel Messi for him to once again wear blaugrana.
