Barcelona have transferred many stars this summer, but it seems that they are also targeting the return of their legend, Lionel Messi, next summer. For Barcelona, there can be no bigger signing than the return of Lionel Messi.
The Argentinian left the club bitter after Barcelona rejected his contract renewal offer. However, in recent days, Joan Laporta has admitted that Messi’s return is an aspiration of his, while Xavi Hernandez also stated that Messi should have another chance to to retire in Barcelona.
Given the sense of betrayal, it may take some time for Messi to sign another deal with Barcelona while Laporta is President. The Paris Saint-Germain star has a deal until 2023.
Writing in his exclusive column for Caught Offside, Fabrizio Romano has said that it is not something that is being considered by Messi right now.
The Argentine is focused on leading his national team to the Qatar 2022 World Cup, after which he will decide on his future. Romano also noted that a move to the Premier League is unlikely to happen for the Argentine star. .
Then the question of consequences arises. The Blaugrana have spent heavily to create a current attacking line with seven quality strikers and this could force a reconfiguration of the team, reports the Telegraph. If any of this matters, when the sentiment factor is so strong for Barcelona, it could be the most important question.
