Leo Messi set off for Paris on Tuesday after it was unofficially announced that he had reached an agreement with PSG. He travelled to the French capital with Antonela, his children and his father, who reluctantly attended to the press gathered at El Prat airport.
The scant answers given by Jorge Messi did not cover up the family's obvious disappointment with Barcelona over the player's departure, who had already made it clear with his tears during his farewell that he had hoped he could have stayed at the Spanish side this season.
"Yes, we are going to Paris," confirmed the father of the best player in the world, giving truth to the advance of 'L'Équipe', who had already taken for granted the agreement with Messi for the next two seasons with an option for a third.
Jorge Messi was asked more questions, such as Leo's state of mind about having to leave, and confessed that the former Barca '10' was not happy about what had happened: "Didn't you see him at the farewell?
To conclude, the star's father was also clear when it came to finding someone to blame for the situation. Jorge Messi made it clear that the family was not entirely happy with what the Catalan side had done: "Who is to blame? Find out at the club".
The words of the Argentina star's father make clear the position of Leo's family in relation to the conflict between Barca and LaLiga over the CVC agreement and also over the Superliga, two long-distance races that Joan Laporta's board decided to put before the fact of being able to continue counting on Messi.
