Messi’s father arrives in Barcelona amid transfer talks

Lionel Messi father Jorge took the centre stage after flying into Barcelona on Wednesday ahead of a meeting with FC Barcelona President Josep Maria Bartomeu, to try and reach an agreement on the future of the Argentine superstar.

Messi senior arrived in town early on Wednesday morning, nine days after Lionel dropped the sporting bombshell of the summer by confirming that he wanted to leave Barcelona where he has spent the last 20 years after arriving as a 13-year-old.

Emerging from a scrum of reporters at Barcelona’s ‘El Prat airport, Jorge Messi gave little away, except saying that he “didn’t know anything”, before adding that Lionel’s future at the club was “difficult”, according Xinhua news agency.

Jorge Messi then travelled to the office of the Leo Messi Foundation, where he was once again greeted by a group of photographers, while TV camera crew crowded the entrance to the FC Barcelona offices at the Camp Nou, hoping for a shot of the men of the moment.
