Barcelona: Former Barcelona forward Bojan Krkic believes speculation that Lionel Messi might leave Barcelona any time soon is exaggerated. Bojan also insisted that both Barca and Messi are "looking for a solution for Leo to stay”.
"I think it is very difficult. Obviously from the outside for the press and the people, this may seem like an interesting story. But, Leo grew up in Barcelona. He has said many times that he loves Barcelona and Catalonia. I don't think Leo is looking at other clubs. I think they are looking for a solution for Leo to stay at Barcelona and I'm sure he'll stay at Barcelona for many years to come."
Meanwhile, Barcelona captain Lionel Messi along with entire Braca squad has taken a 70 per cent pay cut during the COVID-19 pandemic.
In a statement, Barca skipper Messi had said, "Before going any further, we want to make it clear that we were always willing to reduce our salaries because we understand perfectly that we are in an exceptional situation. We, as players, are always here to help the club when they ask."
"It does not cease to surprise us that from within the club there were those who tried to put us under the magnifying glass and tried to add pressure to do something that we always knew we would do," the Argentine football great said.
"If we didn't speak until now, it's because the priority was to find solutions to help the club and to see who the most affected were during this situation.
