Lionel Messi to set conditions before joining Barcelona. According to reports, Lionel Messi requires returning to Barcelona. The Argentine is ready to return for the minimal pay, but he wants to keep a sizable portion of the money the club would earn from the tribute that is being planned for him.
Messi is reportedly interested in returning to Barcelona and is very likely to do so this summer, according to a story in El Nacional. PSG have the option to renew his contract at Parc des Princes, but they also have FFP problems and must cut their salary budget.
One of their choices is to let Messi go, and Barcelona is prepared to accept him back. The Argentine is aware that he cannot come on the same salary he was receiving at the club or PSG before. According to the report, Lionel Messi will be prepared to take a sizable portion of the money the club makes from the tribute they are planning for his return.
Lionel Messi’s return to Barcelona is something that Joan Laporta has already expressed a desire to do. Last summer, he discussed the Argentine and told CBS Sports that the PSG player earned a proper send-off at Camp Nou: “I took the necessary action to prioritize the organization over the greatest athlete in our history. I adore Leo and have known Messi since he was a young child. I feel morally obligated to Messi. He’s the greatest athlete in our history, and I’ll do everything in my power to make sure his time in a Barça jersey ends on the highest note possible.”
Laporta continued: “I would like to bring him back. Although it won’t be simple, I believe that if we use the right plan, we can succeed. Messi, in my opinion, has been our nation’s most significant star in history. He served as the leader during a protracted successful era. He ignited the enthusiasm of our fans. We will exert every effort to ensure that Messi ends his tenure at Barcelona to universal acclaim.”
He then said: “Leo’s ending in Barcelona wasn’t the best. The team had to be prioritized over the greatest player in our history, so we had to make a choice. However, I believe that we need to start working right away to ensure that Messi ends his career with Barcelona cheering him on from every pitch.” Inter Miami CF of Major League Soccer (MLS) and Al-Hilal of the Saudi Pro League (SPL) are both interested in acquiring Lionel Messi this summer.
