Barca plan the 2023-24 season counting on Messi

Leo Messi is tied to PSG until June 2023. At the moment, his renewal has not been agreed, so his future is up in the air. And it won't be because the French club is not trying to keep him at any rate.

'Mundo Deportivo' claims that PSG have put a huge offer on the table for the Argentinian to continue. They are willing to pay him more, if that is what he wants, and to sign him for more years. Both parties agreed in 2021, when he joined the club, a commitment for two fixed years and an optional one. There would also be no problem extending his contract beyond 2024.

The player is very aware of the market in general. Not only to what PSG has to offer him, but also to other offers that may come his way. He knows about Barca's interest, but he is also aware that he has clubs interested in him in MLS and Saudi Arabia.

Barca, for their part, are increasingly optimistic about his return, according to the aforementioned newspaper. The fact that he has not yet said "yes" to PSG makes him think that his continuity is not clear and that is a trump card in his favour.

Lately, the 'Cule' club has been moving to try to bring Messi closer to Camp Nou. Mundo Deportivo' claims that the player's father, his entourage and even the player himself are receiving calls to convince him to return.

Joan Laporta, president of the Catalan giants, has reportedly resumed contact with Jorge Messi, father and manager of the player's sporting affairs. Another piece of information that makes the club think that his return is possible.

Xavi has already spoken to his former team-mate. The Rosarino knows that the doors would be open to him to return, although he is also aware that he would have to accept financial conditions that may not be as good as those of other clubs.

The Catalan giants are so convinced that the dream of Messi's return could become a reality that, according to the Catalan headline, both the board and the sporting management have mentioned the name of the Argentine in the meetings that have taken place to discuss the 2023-24 season.

The Catalan side's plan is to let him decide without pressure. The money that he could not give him in salary, he plans to compensate him with a percentage of what he generates. The attacker will have the last word.
