Laporta about loan:
"We are open to doing it when they [Messi and his family] want to do it. Messi is the best player in history and, given how much we respect and admire him, of course he deserves a tribute at Barcelona.
"I don't know if it will be when we return to the Spotify Camp Nou at the end of 2024 or when the stadium is fully built by July 2026."
When asked why Barcelona didn't sign Messi during the summer transfer window, Laporta replied: "It was left a bit in limbo. In the end, it didn't happen, because what he told us was totally logical. Because of the pressure he had been under in Paris, he preferred to go to Inter Miami, because that would give him a certain stability. It was a decision we respected."
