Barcelona’s veteran ace, Gerard Piquespoke to El Larguero and commented among other things on his decision Lionel Messi to wear her jersey Inter Miamistating that he expected it.
The 36-year-old then spoke about the possibility of becoming the president of the “Blaugrana”, revealing that he is not negative, but it is something distant at the moment.
“I don’t miss football at all. It is a phase that has passed. When you make the decision, you make it. Looking back is no use. It went really well, I never dreamed of it. I won everything I won in my life team.
I believed that Messi will go to Inter Miami from the beginning. They offered him astronomical sums, but there was also the option of returning to Barcelona, which I think he considered.
In Miami there are many Latinos, adjustment will be easy, life is good and it will help the growth of MLS. It seemed difficult for him to return to Barcelona. I don’t know all the numbers of the club, but from what is being said in the press, it was a complicated transfer and it didn’t happen. I have no information on whether it was possible.”
On how he would see himself in the presidency of Barcelona: “There is a long way to go to become president of Barcelona. I’m not saying no, but I see it as far away.”
While regarding the possibility of Saudi Arabia, he stated: “I didn’t have an offer and I wouldn’t go, I always said that the club of my life was Barcelona and then I would retire.
It was very clear, football was connected to Barcelona. Doing things for the money is not how I operate. They are investing, I understand that it is also to invest in their image and the world of football is changing.”
