Jaume Llopis has quit his role with Barcelona after Lionel Messi's departure.

Llopis had been a member of the Espai Barça Commission and was a senior advisor to president Joan Laporta.

His resignation letter was published by Mundo Deportivo this morning:

"Dear Jan,

"You have disappointed me, I thought you were the only one capable of facing Florentino. I lack information but surely much more could be done for Messi to stay. Those that are left over are many.

"Messi was an important patrimony of FC Barcelona.

"We will see when the Super League arrives, if it arrives, and in the meantime, reinforcing PSG and making it easier for Mbappé to go to Madrid. Florentino's perfect plan. You will go down in history as the president who fired Messi.

"Thank you for the confidence in joining the Espai Barça Commission, and, although there is no official appointment or responsibility, I think I have contributed positive things, but I feel obliged to resign because I want to be free to express my opinions.

"I wish you luck".
