Current FC Barcelona President Joan Laporta spoke to the media at Barcelona's Circulo Ecuestre and talked about Lionel Messi's situation, whose contract is up with PSG at the end of this season, and who could return to Catalonia.

"Why did he leave? I had to make a decision. The club goes above anything else. We didn't have the 'Fair Play' rules. I'm sad. I had to choose and I chose the club. We saw each other in Paris", the Catalan side's main man said.

He then went on the tell the truth about the meeting he had a few weeks ago with the star's dad and agent, Jorge: "We met. I congratulated him for Argentina's win. We spoke about the hommage for Messi, who really loves Barca".

"Is he going to return to our club? I don't want to speak about it for respect to the player, who's playing at PSG. Leo's situation isn't about the money, we spoke about a hommage", Laporta said.

For now we don't know where Leo Messi will be playing next season. The Argentina captain admitted that's he's comfortable at PSG, but a possible Champions League exit could speed up his departure.
