Gerard Pique has launched a thinly-veiled attack on his former club Barcelona's ongoing financial problems after their failure to sign Lionel Messi this summer.
The Argentine superstar confirmed on Wednesday night that he was joining MLS club Inter Miami in a wide-ranging interview discussing the decision. It came following the conclusion of his two-year stay at Paris Saint-Germain, whom he joined in 2021 after Barca could not afford to renew his contract.
Messi spoke of his decision to move to Florida despite having other options on the table. In an apparent meeting between father and agent Jorge Messi and Barca President Joan Laporta on Tuesday ramped up rumours that Messi would again make his mark at the club where he scored an incredible 672 goals over a 17-year stint, two years after his exit.
