I'm not sure mate. Could have been something behind the scenes or snowballed from the substitute incident vs United. He might not actually hate us at all.
It just hasn't worked out.
Came over at 19. On his own by the sounds of it, his mum dropping back to Italy every now and then.
A change of manager to Ancelotti, with the whole Ferguson thing in the middle. new league, gone from playing with Ronaldo to playing with Delph.
Then COVID, in the UK's strictest lockdown with no footy he was here (and did a stupid thing too), no family with him apparently for 3 months. Then he played a tiny bit after the restart, then clearly wanted to leave. Had a great year at PSG and comes back to mid-table Everton who want to bin their best player off, have just got another new manager, can't rub two pennies together and one of the senior players has been arrested.
Best move for all concerned is we get the money for him. We needed to get it done quickly but clearly PSG were waiting on Messi. Even though Barca always seemed likely to re-sign him, they'll have known there was a possibility, however slim, that it would fall through and so it proved.
