The former Barcelona star went hard with Lionel Messi during contract negotiations.
He reveals El Predico.
“Sewer rat” and “hormonal troll” are some of the terms Messi has been described with in the chat.
It was not the kind words that Roman Gomez-Ponte, the former legal officer of FC Barcelona, used about Lionel Messi in a WhatsApp group, with former Barcelona president Josep Bartomeu, among others.
“Barto, seriously, you can’t be a good person with that sewer rat,” Gomez-Ponte wrote, according to El Predico.
The conversation took place during Messi’s contract negotiations. Gomez Ponte was, to say the least, unhappy with what the Argentine demanded of Barcelona in his new contract.
Among other things, Messi is said to have said the club could cut the salaries of all players except for that of his friend and friend Luis Suarez, according to Gomez-Ponte.
Gomez-Ponte wrote: “All the accumulation of blackmail and indecency that the club and us workers have suffered from this hormonal troll who owes Barcelona his life.”

It wasn’t just Messi who came under fire from Gomez-Ponte.
“The club must significantly reduce the costs of salaries for the first team, especially after the deplorable and disgusting attitude of the staff with corrupt and insensitive millionaires who refuse to agree with the club, in the form of minimum measures, to ensure financial stability.”
Bartomeu, in turn, replies: “We often listen to Leo (Messi), not always, but often, and this contract without a pandemic would have been completely acceptable.
As is known, there was no extension of Messi’s contract in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bwhich he left to play in Paris Saint-Germain.
