In a revealing interview with
ESPN today, Argentina and Barcelona legend Lionel Messi discussed his future at
Barcelona, as well as the possibility of moving to the riches of the Chinese
Super League in the future.
Loyalty
Following
reports that a move away from Catalunya had become more and more of a
possibility for the diminutive South American in recent years, it will come as
a surprise to few to learn that the Camp Nou favourite once again took the
opportunity to pledge his loyalties to his current club, revealing:
‘[Staying at Barca] is what
I’ve always wanted, what I always dreamed of and what I always said I’d do.’
Chinese
riches
The
29-year-old went on to reveal that he does not like to think about the past too
much, preferring to focus on the future and the challenges that are still to
come.
This
led to ‘Leo’ being questioned on whether he could be interested in following
the lead of so many of his fellow professionals and agreeing to a move to
the Chinese Super League at some stage in the future. Rather surprisingly, however, the 5-time Ballon D’Or winner refused to rule out
the possibility, stating:
‘I wouldn’t say (moving to
China) is impossible no? No one can say that anything is impossible in
football.’
He
continued:
‘Anything can happen [in
football] but today I’ll tell you no, it hasn’t crossed my mind.’
