Lionel Messi has spectacularly revealed that he wanted to QUIT Barcelona during his £2.95million (N1billion) tax row with the Spanish government - and it was only a lack of offers from elsewhere that kept him at the club.

Messi has played for Barca for his entire professional career, and has often spoken about his desire to be a one-club man, but it could have all been very different had an offer come about in the summer of 2017.

Speaking in an interview with RAC1, the Argentine said:

At that time, with the mess of the treasury, I wanted to leave, not for wanting to leave Barca but wanting to leave Spain.

I felt that I was being very mistreated and I didn't want to stay here. I never had an official offer because because everyone knew my idea to stay here.

When pushed further on his tax fraud case, which ended with him having to pay a £223,000 (N98.6million) fine, he added:

It was very difficult for me and my family because people don't know much about what's going on.

The truth is that it was hard for everything that happened but it is better that my children were small and did not know.
