The Argentine star Lionel Messi was not far from the talks and noise that accompanied his name in recent weeks regarding the Barcelona club's presidential elections, but he chose to stay away from all discussions related to the electoral race.

According to the Spanish newspaper 'Sport', former candidate Marc Ciria posted a huge banner calling for the return of the Argentine legend to the Catalan club's ranks, but Messi did not intervene in any way in the current election campaign.

Despite attempts by many candidates to attract his attention or gain his support for their electoral positions, Messi preferred to avoid engaging in these discussions, and he did not make any statements or comments that could be politically or electorally exploited in favor of any candidate.

Some parties tried to contact Messi directly or through close intermediaries, but he learned the lesson from previous electoral experiences and chose not to make any statements or support any party, so his name would not be used as an electoral tool.

According to the Spanish newspaper 'Sport', no candidate succeeded in attracting Lionel Messi during these elections, which were limited to the current candidates Joan Laporta and Victor Font, leaving the Argentine star away from the electoral conflict and allowing the candidates to face the challenges on their own.
