Zapping World Eleven EXCLUDED: Youssouf Fofana’s “Little brother” interview!
A statement that sets fire to the powder. While Lionel Messi sees his contract come to an end in June with Paris Saint-Germain and he has not yet reached an agreement to extend, Rafa Yuste, the vice-president of the Blaugrana, dropped a bomb at a press conference yesterday. “We have been in contact with Leo Messi’s camp. For sure Messi loves Barca and the city, so we hope to find the right conditions to continue his story here,” he said. A very noticed media release which has been igniting Catalonia since yesterday. And obviously, at the club, everything is already planned for the return of the Argentine star.
The return of the 10?
As journalist Achraf Ben Ayad, often well-informed when it comes to Barça, explains, the club is preparing for an explosion in the sale of jerseys if La Pulga ever make a comeback. Moreover, his number 10, which is currently on the back of Ansu Fati, would be reserved for him. The Blaugrana believe that the economic fallout will be enormous: sale of shirts, increase in the number of sponsors around the world, friendly matches and more lucrative summer tours, top ticketing despite the move to Montjuic… All the lights seem green in the minds of leaders. And yet, given the team’s currently complicated finances, nothing has yet been decided in a case that promises to be long and full of twists and turns.
