Messi, when asked about his future at Barcelona, folliwing his return from the copa America.
?I am disconnected from everything, I am not looking at anything. Enjoying this moment, the people, falling down little by little about what this means and preparing to go on vacation with my family, which is what it is now. The truth is that happy, impossible to explain the happiness that I, my family and my friends feel. A beautiful madness all this"
Basically means.... he's going to sit back and see if they sort it. But I doubt he's going to wait around that long.
Laporta is going around saying everything is close and Messi will remain at Barcelona, but judging by what Messi said here, I don't feel it's close at all. I get that Laporta has to be positive and not give the fans any bad news, but I'd respect him more and more if they gave us the truth. It's not his fault if Messi leaves. Bartomeu fucked us over.
