Laporta tells Messi directly: I will do everything I can to convince you to stay
Joan Laporta has been officially appointed president of Barcelona, beginning his second term.
Barcelona number one spoke about the delicate issue regarding the attitude of Leo Messi to the Blaugrana.
“We will try to convince Leo. I will do everything I can. Excuse me Leo. You know it”, Laporta initially said, greeting the Argentine.
“Whatever he does will be good. We will try to make him continue with us because he is the best player in history. Barcelona loves you, I love you”, Laporta told him.
Before Joan Laporta’s first appearance began, he was seen embracing Leo Messi on the stadium steps.
