Posted on December 20, 2021 at 3:30 am by AM Candidate for the presidency of FC Barcelona at the beginning of the year, Victor Font assures that he could have allowed Barça to keep Lionel Messi. Last March, Joan Laporta assured that he would keep Lionel Messi if he was elected president of FC Barcelona : “The best player in the world and in football history came to vote, which in my opinion proves what we said during the campaign. Namely that Messi loves Barça, that the best player in the world loves Barça. It is very significant. I will encourage him to continue at FC Barcelona ”. Finally, despite his election, Joan Laporta failed to convince Lionel Messi who signed up with PSG . His main competitor in the last election, Victor Font , assures him that he would have succeeded. “I am convinced that his departure could have been avoided. What was clear was that it was not enough. We were going to reduce the payroll by 100 million. If Messi wanted to stay and the club wanted him to stay, there was certainly room for maneuver. We were going to give him a lifetime contract. And that was going to give us a lot of leeway. If Messi was wrong in his vote? I would say no, but that's a hunch, “he said in an interview with TV3.
