Correspondences from the management of Barcelona in 2021 were leaked to the network. Josep Maria Bartomeu was then president of the club.
Member of the board of “blue garnet” Gomez Ponti in personal correspondence with Bartomeu spoke harshly about Lionel Messi and other Barcelona players:
“Bartomeu, you don’t have to be nice to that cesspool rat. The club gave him everything, and he tells us who to buy and who to sign, we have to look for sponsors for him. Why, when renewing a contract with him, should we do the same with the contracts of Suarez and Alba? Or why should we pay Fati’s contract renewal fee to his brother, Rodrigo Messi?
He was a partner of a drug dealer, blackmailed us many times and abused our kindness. Our club has suffered because of this hormonal dwarf who owes Barcelona his life!
When the pandemic hit, he sent us a message: “Press, lower the wages of others, but don’t touch me and Luis.” I hope this is the worst thing that could have happened to us.”
Ponti reportedly called Gerard Piqué “a son of a bitch” and Sergio Busquets and other Barcelona players “spoiled and insensitive millionaires.”
