After meeting with Joan Laporta, Father Jorge confirms, "Lionel Messi wants to return to Barcelona."
Father of Lionel Messi Jorge Messi has confirmed that the Argentine is looking to return to Barcelona, and the big move is still on. Jorge, who is also Messi's agent, is on the lookout to find a new club for his son as he has already parted ways with Paris Saint-Germain. Messi left Barcelona in 2021 after the club failed to give him a contract due to Financial Fair Play in La Liga. The Argentine is the greatest player of all time and has also won every trophy with Barcelona during his time there from 2004 to 2021.
Jorge Messi said that "Leo wants to return to Barcelona, and I’d love to see him back at Barça. I can say that we are confident, as a Barça move is an option for sure. But you will know the future soon."
In order to discuss the huge transfer move, Jorge Messi met with the president of Barcelona, Joan Laporta, at his house. Messi has been heavily linked with his former club for the past couple of months, and the Barcelona president and their manager, Xavi, have also expressed that they want the legend back at the Camp Nou. Messi left PSG last Saturday after their final game of the season.
As the club said in an announcement, "After two seasons in the capital, Leo Messi’s adventure with Paris Saint-Germain will come to a conclusion at the end of the 2022–23 season."
