Rousaud, who was formerly Barcelona’s vice president, is aware of the No.10’s importance to the club, even though he asked to leave the Camp Nou in the summer.
“Messi has written the most brilliant pages in the club’s history,” Rousaud added. “We have to honour our legends, but the reality is what it is.
“I believe that things have to be said as they are. We can’t fool our members. We’ll make every effort to ensure he stays, but always with the interests of the club first.”
