Sensational statement from Messy: I felt mistreated, so close to leaving Barcelona

Five times “The Golden Land” was accused of using accounts in Belize and Uruguay to hide revenue from image rights, damaging Spain's state by 4.1 million during 2007-09, Periscope reports.

The middle was eventually convicted and sentenced to 21 months in prison and the fine of 2m euros, but certainly he did not pay the sentence in prison but with money.

And now the Argentinean has admitted that after those charges he wanted to leave.

I had in mind leaving that time, not Barcelona, but Spain,”

I felt mistreated and didn't want to be here anymore.

The door was opened by several clubs, but I never received an official offer because everyone knew my desire to continue with Barcelona. The feeling I had overcomes my feelings for the club.

“It was difficult for me and my family, many people didn't know what I was going through, and I heard that a press sector helped this happen.” /Periscope. com/
