"I don't think Messi will say anything between now and Sunday, but I hope he does. I hope he tells the truth so that the socis don't go to the polls misled by Laporta and blinded by the smoke screen of hope generated by Hansi Flick and the young players."
"I don't quite understand what Xavi said. Messi's situation was completely transparent. Jorge Messi came to my house and told me that they would ultimately be better off in Miami than in Saudi Arabia or Barcelona. That was all. It adds nothing. All it does is muddy the waters of the elections."
A dispute has emerged regarding Lionel Messi's potential return to Barcelona in 2023. Former manager Xavi alleges that club president Joan Laporta prevented the transfer from happening. Laporta disputes this claim, stating that Jorge Messi, the player's father, visited his home and indicated the family preferred Miami over both Saudi Arabia and Barcelona. Laporta characterizes Xavi's comments as muddy the waters during the club's election period and suggests Xavi is being used by rival candidate Font. Laporta expresses confidence that Messi would corroborate his version of events and criticizes Xavi's involvement in the electoral debate.
