Sergio Aguero has recalled Lionel Messi being forced out of Barcelona for PSG.

Aguero, who was with Barca at the time, says Messi's minders let him down when negotiating new contract terms with president Joan Laporta.

He told El Chiringuito: "When Messi seemed that he was going to renew with Barça, he told me every three or four days to take a picture of him with the shirt.

"It was not his fault. He responds to the decisions of those who arrange his contract.

"Messi was not in the negotiations. The truth is known by the people who were in the negotiations."
