'Much more could've been done to keep Messi': Barca worker resigns, aims dig at Laporta

Jaume Lopis, a part of Joan Laporta's board at Barcelona, has announced his resignation following the departure of Leo Messi.

He addressed the president in an open letter published by Diario Sport in which he accuses him of not doing enough to keep the Argentine.

"Dear Jan,

"You have disappointed me, I thought you were the only one capable of facing (Real Madrid's president) Florentino [Perez]. I lack information but surely much more could be done for Messi to stay. There's a lot of those who stayed.

"Messi was an important patrimony of FC Barcelona.

"We will see when the Super League arrives, if it arrives, and in the meantime, you are strengthening PSG and making it easier for Kylian Mbappe to go to Real Madrid. Florentino's perfect plan.

"You will go down in history as the president who fired Messi.

"Thank you for your confidence, for including me in the Espai Barca Commission.

"Although there is no official appointment or responsibility, I think I have contributed with positive things, but I feel obliged to resign because I want to be free to express my opinions. I wish you luck."

As per reports, Laporta refused the CVC deal offered by La Liga in order to continue with the European Super League project. Had the president accepted the offer, Messi's extension could have been finalized.
