Barcelona hero Edmilson says Lionel Messi should be allowed to decide his future himself.
The World Cup winner with Brazil, and Champions League winner with Barcelona, was among those who took Messi under his wing when coming up to the first team, and feels he is the greatest player that the club has had in recent times.
“Messi is a person who has given a lot to the club, he is the best player I have seen there in recent years, in terms of longevity,” he told MARCA Claro.
“People might say Romario, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, but the consistency of Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi for ten years, scoring 70 or 90 goals, is impressive. I don’t think there is a player as complete as Messi and Cristiano.
“I think Messi is in a moment to decide whether to leave or stay, but that should be decided by him, not the club. He is a person who aside from playing, wants to enjoy his football and is in a team that no longer has its connection on and off the field, it is very dangerous when you think of it like that, especially when you are in teams as big as Milan, Real Madrid or Barcelona.”
