Paredes denies Messi call to join Inter Miami | OneFootball

Before beginning his World Cup adventure, Leandro Paredes spoke about the rumors linking him with Inter Miami next season, supposedly at Lionel Messi’s invitation. 

"I haven’t spoken to anyone, and Leo didn’t text me either. When people started saying Rodrigo de Paul might go, the three of us talked, and he was clear that I wanted to return to Boca and that I want to be here to enjoy what I didn’t get to enjoy in my time before. I’m where I want to be, at the club I love, and that’s what matters," he said in an interview with Lo del Pollo. 

Likewise, Paredes expressed his hopes that good results will come for Xeneize in future competitions, even though the road is complicated: "I didn’t come here to be on a banner in the stands, but I want to win important things."
