Lionel Messi to return to Barcelona? World cup winner’s father Jorge Messi reveals key details

Jorge Messi hinted at the possible return of the player as he told reporters, “We don’t know anything about whether he will return to Barcelona. He would love to return. It would be his preferred option. We don’t know anything. We’ll see. We will make a decision soon. We have a lot of things to talk about.”

Messi’s father earlier denied meeting the Barcelona boss, but later he said he had met Laporta a few days back, but nothing specific took place.

But media reports have confirmed Jorge Messi indeed met Laporta and discussed the possible return of the former PSG player to Barcelona.

The salary package is an important issue before any decision is taken as the club cannot compete with other proposals, like that of Saudi Arabia. The deal can materialize only if the Argentine player agrees on a reduced compensation.

Messi quit Paris Saint- Germain at the end of the contract. The popularity of the PSG nosedived immediately afterward, and they lost more than a million followers on social media sites. It plummeted from 69.9 million followers to 68.8 million. The PSG fans booed Messi in his final game his club lost 2-3 to Clemont. His two-year stint with the French Ligue 1 team has been largely plagued by one controversy or the other. The fans of the French Club jeered Messi and his teammate Neymar on many occasions. The player, who won a record seven Ballon d‘Or awards, was suspended after he went on a sponsored trip to Saudi Arabia.

Messi spent his entire professional career with Barcelona before moving to the PSG. He won 34 trophies, including 10 La Laga titles, 7 Copa del Rey titles, and the UEFA Champions League four times.
