Does Messi return to Barcelona?

A Spanish press report stated, today, Thursday, that FC Barcelona is rethinking the restoration of its legend, Argentine star Lionel Messi, during the coming period.

Messi’s current team, Paris Saint-Germain, bid farewell to the Champions League in the round of 16, after being defeated by Bayern Munich, 3-0.

And Spanish “Quatro” channel confirmed that the French team’s exit from the Champions League opened the door for Barcelona to return Messi.

And the report continued: “Barcelona found a formula to implement the plan to return the Argentine star, provided that Messi has the desire to take this step.”

He explained, “Messi’s contract with Paris Saint-Germain expires at the end of this season, and the Argentine star has not been renewed yet, and with the exit from the Champions League, he may leave soon.”

report indicated: “Messi could return to Barcelona if he accepted a salary of 200,000 euros annually, which is what Dani Alves received in the last six months he spent with the Catalan team.”

He added, “In order to compensate Messi for the poor salary, the Spanish club will hold a friendly match in honor of the Argentine legend, through which it is likely that about 100 million euros will be collected, which will go entirely to Messi.”

The report stressed that the Messi family wants to return to Barcelona, ​​but the Argentine star has concerns about taking a second adventure with the club, and prefers to move to the American Inter Miami team.

Messi left Barcelona in the summer of 2021 and moved to Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer, after a long career with the Spanish club that lasted for more than 20 years, in which he achieved many championships and achievements.
