今年8月，球王美斯曾主動同巴塞提出轉會要求，但巴塞就無諗住放人，搞到差啲鬧上法庭對簿公堂，幾經波折後，事件隨前任球隊主席巴杜美（Josep Maria Bartomeu）辭職而暫告一段落。即將踏入2021年，冬季轉會窗重開在即，美斯去向又再次成為球迷焦點。

佢早前接受咗西班牙電視台「La Sexta」長達90分鐘獨家訪問，討論球隊同職業生涯去向。訪問入面美斯多次表達自己對球隊同城市嘅熱愛，同時痛斥前主席巴杜美。

講到前主席巴杜美，美斯表示嬲嘅除咗當時阻止佢離隊，仲有逼走蘇亞雷斯，令蘇亞雷斯免費轉到馬體會。

Leo Messi to La Sexta: “I spent the whole year telling Bartomeu that I wanted to leave Barcelona. But the president always said ‘No’. The burofax was a way to make it official. I thought I had completed a cycle. I needed a change. I wanted to go, Barça cycle was over”. ????????????

Leo Messi to La Sexta: “What happened with Luis Suarez to Atléti was... crazy! He left for free, paying the remaining years of his contract and he joined a team that fight for the same objectives as us. Unbelievable”. ????????????

至於大家最關心既去向問題，美斯則表明唔會加入皇馬或馬體會，會直到出年6月球季結束先會做決定。同時提到自己一直幻想有日可以喺美國生活同踢波，未知能否夢想成真。

Leo Messi to La Sexta: “I’m not gonna join Real Madrid or Atlético Madrid. It’s absolutely impossible. I don’t know if I’ll leave Barça, I’ll talk about it at the end of the season. I hope to be part of Barcelona as club also when I’ll retire”. ????????????
