President Joan Laporta believes this tribute was essential: “Messi deserves his statue. Just like Kubala and Cruyff. It’s obvious,” he stated, as quoted by Mundo Deportivo. He also specified that the player’s family has given their approval and that the official unveiling will take place once the design is complete. Messi currently plays for Inter Miami in MLS, but remains a towering figure in Barça’s history.
