Six-time world footballer Lionel Messi has once again confirmed his departure from FC Barcelona in tears. “I really need to say goodbye today,” the 34-year-old told a news conference in the auditorium of FC Barcelona on Sunday: “After 21 years.”
Even before his farewell speech began, tears flowed. “I’ve been thinking a lot about what I can really say over the last few days. The truth is: I can’t think of anything,” Messi said sternly. The new contract with Barcelona has not been finalized due to the league’s financial restrictions.

The superstar did not give any information about his new club, but insisted he really wanted to stay. “We talk about a lot of things,” said the six-time world footballer in Barcelona. “So far I have not agreed on anything. Many clubs are interested. But of course we talk to each other.”
The 34-year-old is associated with the French leading club Paris Saint-Germain and talks are progressing, according to media reports. According to the French sports newspaper “L’Équipe”, Messi arrived in Paris on Sunday to complete a mandatory medical examination there soon. (dpa)
