With the Barcelona presidential election around the corner, drama has intensified as Victor Font has urged Lionel Messi to speak out on recent comments by Xavi Hernandez.
Xavi revealed that Messi was set to return to Barcelona in 2023, but Joan Laporta blocked the move, sparking controversy.
Font believes Laporta misled the club's socis and hopes Messi will 'tell the truth' before the election.
Xavi claimed Laporta wanted to avoid potential clashes with Messi, citing a conversation where Laporta said he'd 'wage war' against the star if he returned.
Laporta has countered that Xavi's comments stem from his departure, saying he's 'hurt' and that current coach Hansi Flick is the better choice.
