Toni Freixa, former Barcelona board member, claimed that Lionel Messi's farewell ceremony will be held at Camp Nou within the next year and a half.
Tony Farisha, a former member of Barcelona's board of directors, claimed that Lionel Messi's farewell ceremony will be held at the Nou Camp in the next year and a half.
Ambassador Arjan-Sports Group: Barcelona fans still haven't forgotten Lionel Messi's departure as it happened. The Argentine superstar, who left the team in the summer of 2021 after years of shining in the blue-and-white jersey, never had a chance to say goodbye to Barca fans in a proper atmosphere. Now, the statements of one of the former directors of this club have once again raised hopes for his return to Camp Nou.
Tony Freisha, the former vice president of Barcelona, claimed that Messi's farewell ceremony will be held in the Nou Camp in a year and a half. He said: Within the next year and a half, Leo Messi's farewell ceremony will be held in Barcelona and at Camp Nou. This is certain.
In 2021, after 21 years in Barcelona, Messi was unable to renew his contract due to the club's financial problems and salary cap restrictions in La Liga and went to Paris Saint-Germain. During his time with the Catalans, he played 778 times and scored 672 goals. Winning 34 trophies, including 10 La Liga titles and four European Champions League titles, is part of the Argentine star's brilliant career with Barcelona.
Messi had previously said about his departure from Barcelona that the end of his time in this team was not as expected. In an interview with Sport newspaper, he stated that he always wanted to end his career in European football in Barcelona, but the situation went in such a way that he could not say goodbye to the fans as he wanted.
Juan Laporta, the president of the Barcelona club, also spoke about the club's interest in his former player in response to Messi's unannounced appearance at the Nou Camp stadium. Referring to the special place of this star in the history of Barcelona, he emphasized that Messi deserves to hold one of the most magnificent farewell ceremonies in the history of football. A ceremony that, if Farisha's promise is fulfilled, could be an opportunity to end one of the most important unfinished farewells in football.
In their first match after Lionel Messi's retirement from the national team, the Argentina national team defeated Bolivia in a friendly match with a score of 4-0.
Lautaro Martinez, the Argentinian captain of Inter, reacted to the possibility of joining Barcelona and said that he is happy to have his name associated with this club, but his desire is to continue his presence at Inter.
