Zapping World Eleven EXCLUDED: Youssouf Fofana’s “Little brother” interview!
In a few weeks, Lionel Messi may leave PSG and do everything to promote a return to Barça. The bond between the Pulga and the Catalan club is visceral, built from the year 2000 when he landed in Catalonia until his departure as a legend in 2021. But yet, the story could have been very different if we believes information from a former Real Madrid scout, Manolo Romero, who confided on the subject to Cadena SER.
Real leaders called with Messi in the car!
According to him, in the early 2000s, when Vicente Del Bosque was coaching the White House and notably managing a Luis Figo who had moved from Barcelona to enemy Madrid, causing an uproar, Messi could also have joined the White House. ! The leaders of Real Madrid would have been contacted in a concrete way, but preferred not to risk a new war with Barça as explained by Romero.
“Leo was sitting in my car with Horacio Gaggioli (former Messi representative), who was taking care of young Messi then, we were watching a game at the Premià stadium. Gaggioli told us that Leo’s father “is very upset because he thinks they won’t give him a chance…Will you take us to Madrid?” Don’t tell me twice, I’ll call the bosses right away. And I called the bosses. Leo was in my car, when we were talking in my car with the “bosses” of Madrid. Horacio said “hey, and Figo?”. It was an election issue, but you know Madrid and Barca bark at it, but they don’t bite each other. »
