“Leo Is Barcelona And Barcelona Is Messi,” – Samuel Eto’o

Barcelona legend Samuel Eto’o is confident Lionel Messi will not leave the club this summer or in the near future. The six-time Ballon d’Or winner is now heading to become a free agent, with no agreed extension for a deal that expires at the end of this June.

The agreement is said to be still ongoing but according to Eto’o, who is now an ambassador for the Qatar World Cup in 2022, he cannot imagine Messi wearing a different jersey apart from that of Barcelona.

“I can’t imagine Leo with another shirt. It is his club, his home, his love.

“I do not think that his continuity is due to a question of money. Leo is Barcelona and Barcelona is Messi. I know [president Joan] Laporta is preparing a reliable, interesting project for him,” Eto’o said.

Eto’o also recalled his memories of playing with the Argentine star at the club.

“He had everything. I felt he should score more goals, he was a very quiet boy, but it makes me happy that in one season he scored 40-45 goals. Playing with Messi makes games easier for you, I thank him very much.

“He may have said in the media that I helped him in the beginning, but what he gave us was more than what we could give him. I couldn’t teach him how to play, because he is a God,” added Eto’o.
