Barcelona should have sold Messi in the summer

The possible departure of Messi from Barcelona was one of the soap operas of the last summer and continues to give rise to talk.

Now it was Carles Tusquets, chairman of the Barcelona management committee, talking about the possibility that opened with the Argentine player's request to leave the club. Tusquets argues that the best option, in his opinion, would have been to sell the historic jersey 10.

In economic terms, I would have sold Messi in the summer. Both for what was saved in the wage bill and for what we would receive. But this is something that should be discussed by the technical team », defends the person in charge of the referred blaugrana consultative body, which has no decision-making power.

Tusquets also spoke about a possible signing of Neymar, believing that it will only be possible in one way: if it is free.

«If it comes free, we can think about hiring. Because if we don't sell, there is no money to pay for hiring, unless the next president has a miracle up his sleeve ”, he points out.
