The Catalonia club decided not to renew the Argentine's contract because of the financial fair play in Spain.
Leonard called me and said, There is the possibility of signing Messi, like it or not? And I thiught, Is this a joke? Is it really a question. And I just answeref, But do I need to go get him, drive the van, or what? And then the process began. Every night Leonardo called to say how the process was. I have to congratulate Leonardo, because everything was very quick, two or three days to sign the best player in the world.
