The Spanish newspaper, “Mundo Deportivo”, revealed in a detailed report, Barcelona’s study of Lionel Messi’s return again, after the previous dispute
Laporta believes that Messi did not receive the necessary honor after his great career with Barcelona, and the plan is to return after the end of his contract in the summer of 2023 next with Paris Saint-Germain
Before convincing Leo to return to the Camp Nou, Barcelona must solve all the problems, which is that there is enough space for the salary that the Argentine legend receives, in addition to his role with the club after rebuilding the team with Xavi Hernandez, who welcomes the return of the Argentine flea
Lionel Messi is now focused on Paris Saint-Germain to reach the 2022 World Cup in less than two months, and he is in the best condition
Barcelona’s plan, is to rebuild relations with Messi, in a personal challenge to club president Joan Laporta, because he wants to repair what was broken in August 2021, when the most powerful earthquake in the history of the Catalan club occurred with the departure of his legend, although things indicated that Leo would continue
Barcelona sources confirmed that there were phone calls between Joan Laporta and Messi during the last period, but there was no meeting, but the talk was about a tribute worthy of Messi’s history, and because he is a symbol of the club on and off the field, and to become a global ambassador for the Catalan club after retiring, or that Be the technical secretary someday
The conditions that Barcelona must meet, that Leo return with a somewhat reduced salary, that his role be secondary depending on the decisions of coach Xavi Hernandez, and that Pedri, Jaffe and the young players in the future take advantage of him in order to create a new legend with Leo
In order for Messi to return to Barcelona, Laporta will have to take the step of meeting Leo face to face to try to convince him, but the club is now analyzing how to formulate the process, and this is happening by reducing the high salaries, getting rid of players such as Pique and Alba, in addition to Frenkie de Jong and Memphis Depay, Especially after the statements of Javier Tebas, the president of La Liga, who warned the club to reduce the salary block by more than 200 million euros for the next season
On the other hand, Messi’s return will be positive, in terms of the level of marketing and advertising, allowing Barcelona to get more money than he is getting now, in addition to the technical level on the field, because even at the age of 36 in which Messi may return, he will still be able to make the difference
Making the difference that Xavi aims for, is that Messi will have a secondary role, as mentioned above, he will turn into a fake number 9 on the field behind Robert Levadowski, with the likes of Dembele, Fati and Rafinha on both sides of the field, giving Barcelona a terrifying attack
In the Catalan club, there is a conviction that the process is not impossible despite its difficulty, especially since Barcelona is still running in the veins of Messi, and the genes of the Catalan house are what the legend of the club possesses the most
Paris Saint-Germain remains the last obstacle, who wants to renew Lionel Messi’s contract, especially since the first season was not good for the Argentine flea, and in the event of achieving the Champions League title this season, his adherence to it will be greater than before
