"Would I like Messi to return? Absolutely"

Last summer, Leo Messi left Barcelona due to finacial fair play reasons and arrived at PSG to play alongside Mbappe and Neymar.

This Sunday, Jorge Messi, father of the footballer, claimed that he would like to return to the Catalan capital. This comment came as a surprise as Messi is still contracted at PSG.

Just hours later, Joan Laporta has responded to Jorge Messi's words. "Absolutely", answered the Barcelona president when questioned by 'Deportes Cuatro' on whether or not he'd like the player to return to Barcelona.

Messi is contracted at PSG until June 2023, with the option to extend for a further year if he wishes. As of yet, the player himself has not said a word about a possible exit.

What is certain however, is that the comments from both Jorge Messi and Joan Laporta suggest that we may see Leo back in a Barca shirt once again. This may even come as soon as 2023.
