Fc barca remove lionel messi pictures from camp nou after psg move
Lionel Messi has been removed from Camp Nou billboards ahead of his proposed move to PSG.
Last week the unthinkable happened when it was announced Messi would be leaving Barcelona, after the club were unable to re-sign the 34-year-old following the end of his contract in June.
Messi then confirmed he was departing the Catalan giants after 21 years during an emotional press conference on Sunday.
The Argentine forward broke down in tears while receiving a standing ovation from those present, including the Barcelona squad.
On leaving the club, Messi said: “Honestly, when the elections happened (in March), I spoke with (club president Joan) Laporta, we had dinner and after that I was convinced I would be staying.
“My contract was never the issue… What I know is that I did everything I could. The club say it could not happen because of La Liga.
“I can guarantee you that I did everything I could to stay. Last year I didn’t want to and I said that, but this year it was different.
“I did everything possible and the club, Laporta, they couldn’t do it because of LaLiga,” Messi added
