Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —
President Joan Laporta make a terrible statement about Lionel Messi ahead of the duel Barcelona vs Real Madrid in The classic in the 10th week of the Spanish League, Sunday (24/10).
Quoted from French media Le10sport, Laporta says Messi left Camp Nou because Barcelona refused investment from CVC Capital.
At the beginning of the season La Liga plans to cooperate with CVC with an investment of 2.7 billion euros. With that investment, Barcelona could receive more than 230 million euros.
The funds are more than enough to keep Messi in the Blaugrana this season. However, Barcelona and Madrid rejected CVC’s offer and the Catalan club had to lose Messi who moved to Barcelona.
One of Barcelona’s mistakes was refusing CVC funds so that the loss of Messi was acknowledged by Laporta in the general assembly.

“We don’t have a salary margin, and with the results of the audit, we realized the inheritance we received was not good,” said Laporta.
“In an effort to keep Messi, we should have agreed a deal with an investment fund called CVC, La Liga told us,” Laporta added.
Without receiving investment funds from CVC, Barcelona is still experiencing a financial crisis. Messi, who was previously said to have received a pay cut at Camp Nou, must wear the uniform of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) this season.
“We can’t accept it. Messi can’t wait any longer, and understands it’s time to be no longer together,” said Laporta.
“That moment [Messi pergi] must come sooner or later. Unfortunately it’s coming now,” Laporta continued.
Barcelona and Madrid will play El Clasico duel at Camp Nou. The match will be the first El Clasico without Lionel Messi and Sergio Ramos who both moved to PSG.
