"We called each other on his birthday when he left. Alejandro (Echevarría) put us in touch. It was an affectionate conversation, although it has had no consequences and the subject has left me sad. [He came] with some friends from the national team and Pepe Costa, they saw the light here, they decided to come, the head of security called the stadium coordinator and they entered the stadium,"
"In 125 years of the club's history, Messi's moment is one of the most glorious, if not the most glorious, he must have recognition. He is someone linked to Barça who has more projection, he has given a lot to Barça and Barça a lot to him. Hopefully we will meet again. It depends on the other party, I am willing to fix anything... with a tribute, a statue."
Joan Laporta regrets how Lionel Messi left Barcelona in 2021 and feels sad about their current relationship. Messi remains upset over the way a promised contract was handled, which led to his departure. Laporta and Messi have spoken only once since the exit, a warm birthday call arranged by Alejandro Echevarría that produced no reconciliation. Messi made a recent secret visit to the Camp Nou with national team friends and Pepe Costa. Laporta describes Messi's era at the club as among its most glorious and expresses willingness to repair relations, offering a tribute or statue contingent on Messi's willingness.
