Sergio Aguero, the former Argentine star, spoke about what happened between him and his compatriot Lionel Messi regarding the renewal of the latter’s contract with Barcelona
Messi left Barcelona in August 2021, as he failed to renew his contract with the Blaugrana, and then moved for free to Paris Saint-Germain
“Leo’s departure was kind of strange, because we were in Copa America and he had a Barcelona shirt in the room, he would say to me every three or four days (well, I think I will renew my contract, you will have to pick up A picture of me with the shirt)
He added: “That was the conversation in the afternoon, when I went to him in the evening, he told me (not yet), and two days later the same thing happened
He continued: “The player is not to blame, he responds to the decision of those who have to amend his contract, the facts are known to the people who are already involved in the negotiations, and the player is not in the negotiations
And he added: “For me, I did not sit down to negotiate with Manchester City, and I do not know what they are talking about there, what is happening at that moment, the player has to believe what he was told, and unfortunately this is the case with everyone
Aguero concluded his statements by saying: “My best friend in the world of football is Messi
