Lionel Messi has directed the blame for his Barcelona departure at LaLiga.
The 34-year-old made the accusation during his farewell press conference on Sunday.
According to him, he was all set to sign a contract extension to stay at the Camp Nou.
But when he returned from his holidays, Barca president Joan Laporta informed him a deal was no longer possible because of the league’s restrictions.
“There was no problem with Barcelona, really. I was okay with the club on every detail.
“We had an agreement on everything, I was convinced to stay at Barça. But it was not possible because of Liga rules,” Messi said.
Messi is widely expected to sign for Paris Saint-Germain in the coming days.
