Roma’s President Asked Barcelona to Give Messi
By news-admin
DBasia.news – AS Roma President, James Pallotta asked Barcelona to give Lionel Messi as an apology for hijacking Malcom transfer.
AS Roma were almost got Malcom from Bordeaux during the 2018 summer transfer market. The transfer made the I Giallorossi supporters delighted.
No wonder, Malcom is one of the most talented young players for now. The arrival of 21-year-old player is predicted to strengthen AS Roma squad.
After the deal with Bordeaux, Malcom was about to fly to AS Roma. But, he moved to Barcelona instead.
No wonder, Malcom decision made AS Roma upset. Besides Malcom, I Lupi were also disappointed by Bordeaux and Barcelona’s act.
Pallotta admitted that he hasn’t forgiven Bordeaux and Barcelona about Malcom transfer. The AS Roma president gave two requirements to be forgiven.
“In terms of Barcelona, it was just, you know, a pattern of the past few years of doing things that just should not be done at a club with what the reputation that I think Barcelona intends to have and to be,” Pallotta told Sirius XM.
“Barcelona apologized about their actions and how they did things. I don’t accept the apology at all. The only way I’ll accept Barca’s apology is if they send the player to us, and that’s not going to happen. Maybe, as a goodwill gesture, the very least they could do is send us Messi.”
“Malcom wanted to come to us, there were other clubs interested such as Leicester and Everton but they weren’t having formal talks. We had already agreed to a buyout clause of €120 million,” Pallotta continued.
The Malcom transfer incident infuriates the rivalry between AS Roma and Barcelona. During the last season, I Giallorossi defeated Blaugrana dramatically in the Champions League.
