With the summer transfer window in full swing, FC Barcelona is determined to bolster their squad and remain competitive in the upcoming season. However, one of the most challenging situations they face involves the return of Lionel Messi and the complexities surrounding his potential comeback to the Catalan club.
Currently under contract with Paris Saint-Germain until the end of June, Messi will become a free agent and can negotiate with any club, whether within Europe or beyond, for his next destination. Despite Messi’s recent appearance in promotional content for the French champions, the relationship between the player and Barcelona remains somewhat strained.
Several reports have emerged suggesting that Messi is intrigued by an offer from Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal. In fact, some sources even claim that he has accepted a two-year deal worth approximately €1.2 billion with the Middle Eastern side.
However, according to Ivan San Antonio of SPORT, Barcelona’s president, Joan Laporta, is determined to rectify what he sees as a major oversight during his tenure: the failure to renew Lionel Messi’s contract in 2021. San Antonio reports that Laporta has instructed the various departments within the club to prioritize and expedite Messi’s return before pursuing any other transfer objectives.
Laporta believes that Messi’s arrival will not only significantly enhance the team’s sporting capabilities but also provide a substantial financial boost to the club. The president is committed to ensuring Messi’s swift return, considering him as the catalyst for Barcelona’s evolution on both sporting and financial fronts.
As the summer transfer window unfolds, the focus will undoubtedly be on the ongoing developments surrounding Lionel Messi’s future. Barcelona fans and football enthusiasts worldwide eagerly await the final outcome, which will shape the club’s trajectory for the upcoming season.
