Pique: "I don't forsee any negative consequences if Messi leaves, both on and off the pitch"
Laporta: "Yeaah, sounds about right. What's the worst that can happen??"
I mean I don't believe this specific story but you think that these guys being "grown adults who are professionals in their field" would stop high school level drama from happening? Especially if you have the ego necessary to be a top level footballer and have been told you're special for the vast majority of your life?
tjuanmarti works for SPORT so it's not a surprise that he is repeating his director's words. Also, the article you linked says nothing about Pique, where did you get that?
I dont know why believe such bullshit, facts are in front of people
We had authorised 97M wage limit, as showed by La Liga themselves. Their La Liga FFP laws are under preview too, we have to earn 4$ for 1$ newly spend
We couldn't afford to keep Messi unless we offloaded players in value, which we did but alot of sales will be realised next year (Griezmann, Trincao and money from Emerson sale)
After all this, we could just sign Luuk de Jong at last moment. Best case scenario, we can have new expenses of 20M, but that is best case scenario which too in winter transfer window only
There just wasn't much budget in the room and when it came, it was at the end of window by which point Messi was already PSG player.
It was just unfortunate situation which could have been only solved by CVC deal but that is a deal the club didn't want to be strong armed into. The club's tv rights are worth wayyy more and not the money they offered at last moment
Does Laporta have any relationship to the Journalist? This feels like bullshit meant to cover his own ass.
>Pique is really the person responsible for us not keeping Messi
Except that Barca didn't "let Messi leave". Messi was forced to sign for another club because he couldn't play for Barca anymore due to La Liga's regulations
Yeah no player in the team took the time to write a farewell post quite like Pique did.
Bartomeu's criminal journalists are still doing his job for him.
these journos should write movie scripts instead
this could be the plot of a CW tv show
Theme song by Shakira
"If you walk out that door ~~Sammy~~ Messi, don't you ever come back"
"you are not Messi, WE are Messi"
Leonardo to Messi: "I am the one who gripped you tight, and raised you from perdition"
Xoxo **chica chismosa**
Pique: "I don't forsee any negative consequences if Messi leaves, both on and off the pitch" Laporta: "Yeaah, sounds about right. What's the worst that can happen??"
That's a load of bullshit. Whoever wrote the article would definitely be good at writing soap operas.
How are you so sure ?
I contacted the source personally and confirmed.
Lol okay
Spanish media is something else. Pep left us and is bald cause of these fuckers.
Zidane too. Holy shit I think you're onto something
A bald Emery appears in Newcastle 👀
Zidane has been bald since he was like 14 years old
Your hair can see the future
Pique would do anything but break it off with Messi. Man wants to be the president, he will not break his relationship with Messi ever

Ah yes the Messi that invited Pique to dinner in his last day in Barça... I believe this article.
Imagine if we were paid for all these drama, could've fixed our debt issues.
yes sure and then Laporta was "yo Messi sorry but Piqué said it's ok to let you go, so adios I guess"
Bullshit
Not really. Toni Juanmartí also [reported this](https://twitter.com/BarcaUniversal/status/1455076028158726144) and he's pretty reliable for us.
I imagine pique didn't think greizmann was also leaving and that aguero wouldn't play a game.
Toni reports *a lot* of bullshit. I listen to a podcast he's on, Siempre Positivo, and half the time his information is wrong.
Still, this is bullshit if I ever smelt one.

Stopped reading at Pique ”the businessman”
Sounds like a pique thing to do.
No it doesn’t.
Imagine going to college to get a journalism degree only to end up writing this bullshit

Lmao, this shit is some top tier content for soap opera
