Messi will return to Barca. From which, by the way, he never had to leave. Laporta is already working on his ‘resigning’ for next season, when his current contract with PSG ends. With the endorsement of Xavi, the return of the Argentine crack can be a reality in the summer of 2023. The objective is twofold: round out the super team that is being built with the return of the best player in history and, at the same time, allow that Messi can finish his sports career in the club of his life. Messi, I insist, should never have left Barça. But the dramatic economic circumstances of the Blaugrana entity forced Laporta to make a painful and traumatic decision. Almost a year after that sad farewell, bridges are beginning to be built for the reunion.
The president has the will to recover Messi and Messi wants with all his might to return to the Camp Nou. The bases for harmony to be possible exist. Now we have to move forward, slowly but surely, to make the return viable. Barça’s economic situation is not the same as it was a year ago. Thanks to the activation of the saving levers, the club is coming out of the well. Messi’s personal and sporting circumstances have also changed. The Argentine crack will have earned a lot of money at PSG and will be able to afford the ‘luxury’ of accepting a ‘normal’ contract for his last season in the elite. The wills of both parties fit. With the approval of Xavi, who was left wanting to be able to train the universal number one.
The members and fans would also enthusiastically accept to recover the figure of Messi, to pay him the tribute he deserves. There would be no better farewell than a whole year of honors and applause for the footballer who changed the history of the club. Messi’s last game with the Blaugrana shirt cannot be that sad defeat against Celta in an empty stadium. Laporta is clear: “We have a moral debt with him & rdquor ;. The president has worked the miracle of resurrecting a dying Barça. The signings of Lewandowski, Raphinha, Koundé, Kessié and Christensen (waiting for Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso and without ruling out a final bombshell with Bernardo Silva) have generated an illusion that was unthinkable just a couple of months ago. Xavi has almost everything he asked for in order to create a champion team. Reconciliation with the ‘prodigal son’ would be the perfect icing on the cake. Leo’s return is much closer…
