Luis Suárez Amused by Uproar Over Former Barcelona Teammate Lionel Messi’s Leaked Contract Demands

• Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez were teammates at Barcelona and remain close friends away from football
• Messi made nine demands of Barcelona before he would agree to sign a contract extension at the club
• Suárez has laughed off one of Messi's contract demands, adding that it was natural among elite footballers

Lionel Messi’s leaked contract demands to remain at Barcelona is big news at the moment, and former teammate Luis Suárez can’t help but find the funny side to it.

The Paris Saint-Germain attacker has been in the news recently, after leaked emails revealed the demands he made to Barcelona in order to sign a contract extension.

Messi then left the club a year later, joining the French side on a free transfer.

As Football Espana noted, one of Messi's demands was that his family and Suárez’s family would get a box at Camp Nou.

Suárez, who was a teammate of Messi at the time, is good friends with the Argentinian off the field of play as well.

The Uruguayan star has now responded to the leaked demands, adding that he was amused by the details and the fact that people were making a big deal out of it, the Mirror reported.

“The contract details amuse me. It is something very normal. If you check the contracts of any elite footballer, they should all have their box. I, for example, had one at Atletico Madrid and in Nacional too.”

He added that Messi was making life easier for Barca by asking for one box to be shared between their two families, instead of each getting their own box.

Ironically, the club accepted Messi’s demand for a box for him and Suárez, but the Blaugrana would not budge on his other demands.
