Lionel Messi’s father says Barcelona future is ‘difficult, difficult’

Jorge Messi has landed in Barcelona ahead of showdown talks with Josep Maria Bartomeu this afternoon about his son’s future at the club.

The 62-year-old seems to have been hounded by reporters ever since he touched down, and Deportes Cuatro managed to get a few words with Messi Sr.

Here’s how it went:

DC: Jorge, Hello ... Is Leo going to leave Barça or what?

JM: I don’t know

DC: How do you see it?

JM: Difficult

DC: Hard to stay?

JM: Yes

DC: And Manchester City is a good option?
