Lionel Messi was on the verge of leaving Barcelona in the summer but then-president Josep Maria Bartomeu refused to let him go and he eventually remained at Barcelona.
Bartomeu has now resigned and a new president will be elected on 24th January. The new president may have a huge role to play in Lionel Messi’s future at Barcelona.
Messi has now given an exclusive interview with La Sexta’s Jordi Evole. Here’s what he had to say about Christmas:
Evole: What are your Christmas plans?
Messi: Heading back to Argentina for Christmas, all my family are there …. it’s complicated though with the pandemic….. it’s difficult in Argentina too…
Evole: What was your favourite gift for Christmas as a kid?
Messi: I remember getting an official match ball …it was expensive but my folks made a major effort and I also remember getting a Newell’s shirt which was special.
Stay tuned we’ll be bringing in more exclusive conversations from the interview.
