Former Barcelona president Joan Laporta believes Lionel Messi and Barcelona's players support his campaign to return to the Blaugrana hot seat. In a unique claim to the position of power, the 52-year-old suggested he has a telepathic relationship with Messi.
"I have telepathy with Messi, he always knows what I'm thinking," said Laporta, as reported by Moises Llorens of AS. "Leo knew I would stand, maybe even before I did, because he's a genius. I feel I have the backing of the dressing room."
The notion that Messi shares a harmonious relationship with the presidential candidate could improve Laporta's chances of success.
