Barcelona President Josep Maria Bartomeu spoke on the Messi-Inter rumors while speaking with the Spanish news outlet SPORT.
"I am certain that Leo Messi will keep his word and will finish his career with us. It's what he has always said. His contract expires in 2021, but he will still have three or four years of playing at a high level."
On Inter attacker Lautaro Martinez: "We spoke for a few weeks with Inter management. Then we agreed to stop discussions because it was not the best moment for certain investments."
On the Juve-Arthur deal: "We opened a procedure, his absence is unjustified. His behavior is unacceptable. As the agreement on the transfer was made with Juve, Arthur must finish the season with us. He has not imposed himself as an essential element with us. In Turin, instead, it seems like he'll be guaranteed a starting spot, other than higher wages."
