Barcelona director of football Txiki Begiristain says Lionel Messi is priceless for them and will not leave the club.

“He is priceless,” Begiristain told Sport.

“There are a series of players in world football who are untouchable. Cristiano Ronaldo, for example, Manchester United wouldn’t let him go to Madrid. Milan would not sell Kaka.  Right now, in Messi, Barcelona has the best soccer player on planet Earth.”

He continued on Messi: “I see him helping Barcelona to many titles, and winning not one but several golden balls (Balon D’or). There is nobody like him, especially in one-on-one situations.”

When asked if Messi is better than Maradonna, Begiristain said: “We have seen the full career of Maradona. With Lionel, we have only seen three years of his career, but he has the potential to win so much.

“We must make sure we protect him physically, because he has a history of injuries that means we must look after him.”

    Messi, You Should Continue your hard work. Because your Presence at The Nou Camp and Any Stadium as a whole is a threat to any opponents. They are always afraid of you when they see you on a ball. I am Foday Kiazolu from Liberia, West Africa.

    Messi is becoming more brilliant when playing. Look at the tackles he is having with giants like real madrid’s mitzelder, scoring an hat-trick to such a big club in last season but one. Another is when he attacked man u in old trafford, the way he could play off evra, brown. you can still consider him with ronaldo in that ace. he is really becoming more and more tough. he is becoming as brilliant as ronaldinho was. it’s incredible when you are at camp nou.

    Messi is potentially to become the best world player someday, now as he continues to improve his game this isnt an impossible achievement for him. Ronaldo is a good player but Messi is better. The way I see it Messi’s strength on his dribble skills with the ball makes him overlap Ronaldo. Ronaldo may has scored a lot of goals in premier league, Try to put him on the spanish league and see if he could do the same. The best of premier league is for the money reason, you want to see the real beauty football and techniques see the spanish league or italia seri A.

    Actually, Lionel messi is an upcoming wonderfull player who entertains the fans so much and finally delivers the ball as expected. His current skills was improved mostly from Baca ie giving him the chance to do more in the future just like the Brazillian player Ronaldinho. I don’t see any reason why messi should be open for any bid. currently, whether the whole world likes or not, lionel messi is the best balanced player. Hence, baca is ready to give him the best and his best may/will lead him to world best player in the future. NO NEGOTIATION FOR MESSI.
