Jorge Messi is not just Lionel’s father. He also carefully watches over the interests of his son, even if it means sometimes dribbling the Spanish tax authorities. Also, the father reacted with virulence this Tuesday to the increasingly pressing rumors around the future signing of the son in Saudi Arabia, for an early retirement in solid gold.
“There is absolutely nothing [de signé] with no club for next season, reacted Jorge Messi in a press release, shared by the Catalan daily Sport. The decision will not be made before Lionel finishes the championship with PSG. Once the season is over, it will be time to analyze, see what comes up and then make a decision. »
“A lack of respect for the media”
That’s it, it’s said, but that’s not all. Papa Messi takes the opportunity to “pay” those who spread these “rumors” and who “use the name of Lionel to gain notoriety”.
“For me, the fact that there are people who consciously and deliberately lie, without providing the slightest proof of their assertions, and who want to transform into information every malicious rumor or one that is dictated by their interests, is a lack of respect for the media to which they respond. »
For Sportthings are clear: at the end of the contract and angry with PSG, the seven-time Ballon d’Or wants to continue his career in a major European championship (in other words, with Barça, in La Liga).
If and only if no agreement succeeds in this direction, the Pulga will feel the Saudi petrodollars.
