DBasia.news – PSG (Paris Saint-Germain) midfielder, Ander Herrera has a different view from his team-mates regarding the future of Barcelona superstar, Lionel Messi. Herrera considered it would be difficult for Messi to join PSG.
Rumors of Messi’s departure from Barcelona have been circulating following the comments of Mauricio Pochettino, Angel Di Maria and Marco Verratti, who believe the player has the opportunity to join PSG.
Messi’s contract has not been extended by Barcelona and he can leave free at the end of the season. Given that he also submitted a transfer request at the start of the season, the issue of the 33 year old player’s departure is increasingly circulating.
No doubt the situation was used by Di Maria and Verratti to heat up Messi’s issue, but Herrera was different. He considered Messi’s chance to head to PSG would be quite difficult because of FFP (Financial Fair Play). In addition, he was also reluctant to talk about other club players.
“Messi, Neymar and Mbappe together? I don’t know how it will work out with Financial Fair Play, but I don’t think so,” Herrera told El Larguero.
“I respect Barcelona, their coach and Messi, so I’m not going to discuss this one.”
The former Manchester United player considered the discussion about players at other clubs to be unsettling, as if Barcelona discussed the return of Neymar, who is now defending PSG.
“When everyone at Barca talks about Neymar, inside and outside the club, we don’t like him,” added Herrera.
“I’m not going to do something I don’t like being done to me. I have great respect for Barca, Messi, his coach and his team-mates.”
“This is not a strategy. I’m not going to talk about him. I respect those who do, but I put myself in the position of the club where Messi is developing.”
“If I were me at Barca, I would not like people talking about Messi. For me this does not mean a lack of respect, but I will not,” continued Herrera.
