How would have Barcelona retained Lionel Messi’s service
Back in July last year Barcelona presidential candidate Victor Font during an interview with La Vanguardia said that Barceloan could have offered Messi Michael Jordan like deal to retain his service. He said, “Our plan to save Messi was different. We reduced salary mass and losses in the first year and we proposed a lifetime agreement.”
The Barcelona presidential candidate further went onto say, ” Jordan will charge 150 million percentage in one year, more than any current figure in the NBA and more than when he played. We went beyond conventional renovation. Surely Messi would have liked it because he strengthened his bond with Barça. Today it is urgent to re-establish that bond,” Font explained.
