Messi family announces Jorge Messi is in recovery

Lionel Messi's family announced that Jorge Messi is under medical care following a health issue and that his condition is improving positively. The family stressed that the matter is a private family issue and asked for privacy to be respected.

The statement said Jorge Messi is currently under doctor supervision, is recovering, and that an improvement in his health has been observed. No details were given regarding the nature of the problem.

The family also expressed their discomfort with the speculation that has spread in recent hours. They argued that some people have not shown sensitivity on the matter and have not sufficiently respected the family's privacy.

The statement reminded that the real and accurate information about Jorge Messi's condition is held only within the close family circle. It was therefore noted that any account not coming from the family or official channels should not be considered true or reliable.

Jorge Messi is known as one of the figures who manages his son's career and has played an important role in it. He has accompanied Lionel Messi through his periods at Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, Inter Miami and the Argentina national team.

It also drew attention when Messi could not hold back tears after scoring his first goal in Argentina's 3-0 victory over Algeria. It was recalled that he said after the match that this emotional moment had nothing to do with football.
