Lionel Messi has reportedly called Barcelona president Joan Laporta to ask him to stop mentioning his name in press conferences.
Laporta has dropped the legendary football's name in conversation several times since he left Barcelona for Paris Saint-Germain last summer. It's believed Messi and his family are 'not amused' by the president's references and want him to stop immediately.
In fairness to Laporta, he is often asked by reporters about the possibility of re-signing the Argentine, who established himself at the pinnacle of the sport during a breathtaking spell at Camp Nou. In contrast, Messi has failed to live up to his billing in the French capital, scoring 11 goals in 34 appearances this season. He managed 38 goals during his final term at Barcelona.
