Messi's family angry with Laporta

Former Barcelona vice president Jordi Mestre recently confirmed that Lionel Messi and his family are still angry with current president Joan Laporta.

The relationship between Messi and Laporta is broken.

Speaking to El Confidencial , Mestre said that Messi's departure from Camp Nou due to the financial crisis was one of the biggest mistakes in the club's history. He emphasized the huge influence that Messi brings, not only on the pitch but also in the economic aspect.

"Whatever we do for Messi is too little. What he brings is extraordinary, not only in terms of sport but also financially. Tours with Messi and without Messi are two completely different stories. He receives a high salary, yes, but he deserves it because he helps the club earn a lot of money," Mestre shared.

Mr Mestre also revealed that Messi and his family were “very angry” with Laporta for the way the club handled the incident that year. “I know from people close to them that they were very angry. What Laporta said about the barbecue to reconcile with Messi’s family is not true,” he added.

The former Barca vice president believes the club should take a symbolic action to pay tribute to Messi, such as naming a stand after M10. However, the Catalan club has not yet made any concrete moves.

Three years after their tearful breakup, the rift between Messi and Laporta appears to have not healed, despite efforts from Barca's leadership to mend the relationship between the two sides.
