Follow usLionel Messi spoke about his transfer to Inter Miami as a free agent and admitted that he wanted to make Barcelona return, but the deal was difficult to be executed because of La Liga salary cap rules.
He left Camp Nou two years ago because of that and he didn’t want to risk it again.
“I wanted to return, I was very excited to be able to return, but after having experienced what I experienced and the exit I had, I did not want to be in the same situation again: waiting to see what was going to happen and leaving my future in the hands of another. I hope to be able to come back to Barcelona one day, I don’t know how but it’s the club that I love. I appreciate the affection people have received and I would like to be there one day.”, he said.
Going to Miami is not about money. If it had been a matter of money, I’d have gone to Arabia or elsewhere. It seemed like a lot of money to me”, he told Mundo Depotivo.
