Lionel Messi:
“The truth is that I can’t think of anything what to say. This is so difficult for me. I’ve been here my entire life, I am not ready for this. My family and I were convinced we were going to stay here, that we were going to remain at home.”
“I am extremely grateful for this club. For my teammates, for my former teammates, for everything.. everything.. everything.. I have so much respect for this club. Beautiful things have happened here. At this club I have become the person that I am today."
“I want to say it again. I am so grateful for the love that people have shown me here. I recognize your love, which I feel for you as well.”
“I did everything possible to stay here, so did Laporte. I have heard people say that I did not want to continue, but I did everything in my power to stay.”
“It’s going to be a difficult change, especially for my family. They thought they were going to stay in this city. But I know we are going to be okay. We take it on, and we have to move forward."
“PSG is one possibility. But I can not confirm anything to you. Right now, nothing is closed. But we are talking about a lot of things.”
“I am not coming back to train, I am not coming back to the pitch, I am not coming back. This is the end at this club. And yes, this is the most difficult moment of my career."
Leo Messi confirmes: “Paris Saint-Germain is a possibility, yes. At the moment nothing is confirmed, I received lot of calls after Barcelona statement. We’re talking about it”.
Leo Messi: “The pic with Paris Saint-Germain was a coincidence, completely. I was there with my friends, we decided to take a photo... they told me: ‘Come to Paris!’ but it was just a joke, we were on holiday”.
Messi “This is the most difficult moment of my career, no doubt. I’ve had many difficult, hard moments, many defeats, but then you could return to training and get revenge. Now I cannot return, my time at this club is over. So it is the most difficult moment, yes.”
Messi: "These recent days I have been thinking about what I can say. The truth is that I can't think of anything. This is very difficult for me, being here my entire life. I'm not ready for this."
"My family and I were convinced that we were going to stay here, at our home. We thought we'd be staying here in Barcelona."
"Today I have to say goodbye to all of this. Since I was 13, after 21 years, I'm leaving with my wife and with my three little children. This is our home."
Messi: I offered to reduce my salary by 50 percent and Barca didn't ask for anything else. They didn't ask for another 30 percent, that's a lie. We did everything we could and it wasn't possible. A lot of things people are saying are not true. I did everything I could.
Leo Messi: "For these fans I'm willing to do anything and yes, I would like to come back in the future and have a tribute."
"False hopes? No. We were all clear and convinced that I was going to stay here. We had everything agreed and there was no problem. We were always honest with people, at least on my part."
"Tebas? I have nothing to say to him, I never said anything, I have seen him a couple of times and we had a cordial greeting, I have no problems with him."
"The people of Barça know me, they know that I'm a winner. The last years of my career I want to keep on adding titles."
"The photo with the PSG players? It was a coincidence. It was all just a joke."
"I want to congratulate Dani Alves for the Olympic gold that he has won. I'm very close to him."
"How many more years can I play? I don't know, it depends on how I feel each season and how my physical condition is."
"The club has a very big debt and they don't want to worsen it. I did my best to stay and it couldn't. I can't say more."
"We could have achieved at least one more Champions League. One of my goals is to win the Champions League again and more titles."
Messi: “I love Barça, but I’m going to join a team that might face Barça in the CL. I am a competitor, I will fight for every batch that I wear. That is who I am, a competitor. I want to end my career playing at the highest level, winning many titles”.
