Laporta wants Messi in January

Leo Messi left the Camp Nou in 2021. A little over a year has passed and Barca still miss him as much as on the first day.

Joan Laporta is working on his return at Barcelona but it will be very difficult. Messi has a contract with PSG until 30th June, but the French club have moved quickly and they have already made a renewal offer to the striker in order to prevent his departure.

Barca will do everything to secure Messi's return. 'Sport' reports that they will not wait until the summer to sign him because they will try to go for him in the January transfer window.

Thanks to their financial levers, Barca could register a player under the 1/1 rule instead of the 1/4 rule. Before, they could only spend one euro out of every four saved, a rule that would make his transfer difficult.

According to the same media outlet, Barcelona have it complicated because PSG are not going to allow him to leave in the middle of the season. The French club will not do Barca any favours and Nasser Al-Khelaifi would be in charge of the negotiations if they decide to make a move.

Messi has it clear. The player is focused on the season and his future is on hold for the moment. The first priority for the player is the World Cup, which is just around the corner.

Barcelona should make a move soon keeping in mind that the deal is going to be complicated. For the moment, no one has done anything at the Camp Nou for Messi's return.
