Gerard Deulofeu surprised everyone with a comment in which he said that he would never return to Barcelona, but that he would accept a proposal from Real Madrid. The now Udinese player is a Barcelona youth academy player and was in the first team.
There he met Leo Messi, who he says is the best footballer he has ever seen in an interview he gave to 'TuttoSport'. The Spaniard praised the figure of the Argentine international and highlighted his skills. He also made it clear that he will not see a player similar to the '10' from Rosario.
"He's phenomenal, I've never seen anyone like him, nor will I ever see him again. He sees football in a different way, he respects others, he adds the quality of the best player in the world and a lot of intelligence. If you put it all together, you have the genius that is Leo Messi," said his former team-mate.
The PSG striker is enjoying a great start to the season in Paris and recently excelled for Argentina against Honduras. The Argentine captain will once again play for his country against Jamaica in the final test before the World Cup in Qatar.
