Lionel Messi’s joining Barcelona chances are increasing. According to famous Spanish journalist Gerard Romero, Barca has a 60% chance of securing the remarkable return of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) attacker Lionel Messi.
In 2021, the legendary Argentine left Nou Camp under difficult conditions. The Blaugrana couldn’t afford to sign their illustrious No. 10 to a new deal. Messi’s return to Catalunya has been eagerly anticipated by Barcelona supporters.
Romero asserted that the likelihood of that occurring is increasing. “Reliable journalist says there’s a 60% chance that PSG star Lionel Messi returns to Barcelona,” he stated on his Twitch channel.
With PSG, Messi has had a productive season, tallying 18 goals and 17 assists in 31 games across all categories. His future at the Parc des Princes has, however, cast doubt over his quest.
The Argentine forward’s deal is due to terminate after the current campaign. Renewal discussions have taken place, but they have not been effective. As the contract expiration date draws near, more rumors develop about the 2022 FIFA World Cup winner returning to Barca.
Joan Laporta, the head of the Blaugrana, fanned the flames by admitting he had spoken with Messi’s father. Jorge Messi and I spoke about the World Cup and a contest in Leo’s honor, the man remarked. I’m delighted for him. I don’t want to discuss whether or not he might return because he is currently at PSG.
During his tenure with the Blaugrana, Lionel Messi rose to the heights of football greatness. In 778 games across various tournaments, he contributed 303 assists in addition to 672 goals. Six Ballons d’Or were also earned by the Argentine while he was a player at the Nou Camp.
Pique shared the field with Lionel Messi at Barca for several seasons up until the latter’s departure in 2021. The longtime Argentine teammate of the Spaniard, who resigned last November, was not able to play with him in his final match.
Pique has, however, made it obvious how he feels about Messi’s decision to rejoin the Blaugrana. He spoke briefly about the PSG attacker’s options should he decide to quit Parc des Princes, telling RAC1: “It would be typical for him to remain in Europe and then include Barcelona in his plans if he is still motivated. Or perhaps he’ll join MLS.”
Pique continued by saying that it would be wonderful for everyone if Messi joined the Catalan giants again: “For Barcelona fans, who know how he has made us feel, it would be a great sensation for all of us. His destiny is entirely in his hands.”
