Lionel Messi, a superstar for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), is said to have decided to return to Barcelona after his contract expires in June. Foot Mercato, a French publication, learned from PSG Talk that Lionel Messi has decided to leave PSG this summer. It has been guaranteed that Messi and his family have made up their brains about leaving the French capital, and there is probably not going to be any deviations. It is believed that Barcelona is their preferred destination.
In the meantime, Barcelona is said to be considering unconventional strategies to make his return possible. They are said to be thinking about giving Messi a portion of the money they make from sponsorships, jersey sales, and home game ticket sales.
Fans are eager to see the world champion return to Camp Nou, so it is believed that Barcelona are under pressure to bring him back. Barca, on the other hand, must also abide by Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations, necessitating a significant reorganization in order to accommodate Messi.
Lionel Messi will consider other options if they fail to do so. After that, it is possible that the superstar will take into consideration offers from Saudi Arabia and Major League Soccer (MLS).
According to well-known Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Saudi Arabian team Al-Hilal has officially offered Messi’s camp €400 million per year. He will become the highest-paid athlete of all time if he accepts it.
Joan Gaspart, the former president of Barcelona, maintains that Lionel Messi will never be “whistled” at Camp Nou.
In his two most recent matches at home at the Parc des Princes, Lionel Messi has been the target of PSG boo-boys. PSG fans who disrespected the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner have already been slammed by legends like Thierry Henry and Emmanuel Petit.
Presently, previous Barcelona president Joan Gaspart has tolled in, asserting that he could never be dealt with that way at Camp Nou.
Talking on Super Deportivo Radio on Radio Estate Trinidad, he said:
Messi will never be whistled at Camp Nou.
Additionally, he urged Messi to return to Camp Nou in any capacity he saw fit.
Added he:
“I would have preferred that Messi never leave Barcelona and that no attempt be made to bring him back now.” I for one would be extremely enthusiastic about Messi returning to Barcelona. As an ambassador, I would like him to sign a lifelong contract with Barcelona.
“It doesn’t matter if he plays or not; for me, the person and his humanity are more important. Allow him to return in anything that limit he needs.”
Messi scored 672 goals and provided 303 assists in 778 games across all competitions for the Blaugrana before becoming a free agent in 2021. Among his other accomplishments, he led the Camp Nou team to 10 La Liga titles and four Champions League titles.
