Lionel Messi has his future clear amid rumours linking him with Barcelona return

Lionel Messi is a name that’s going to be discussed a lot over this next 12 months. As well as spending this season with Paris Saint-Germain he’s also set to lead Argentina to the World Cup in Qatar. What’s more, his contract is also set to expire next summer.

And that, according to Diario Sport, is when Barcelona want to make a move to bring the veteran playmaker back to Camp Nou, two years after he was forced to bid the club a tearful farewell. But despite their determination to bring Messi back for a more fitting goodbye, it’s understood the Argentine is focused on Qatar.

His club future is secondary to him at this point in his career. The 35-year-old has a real chance of emulating the late, great Diego Maradona and finally lifting the World Cup in the Middle East later this year and it could be his final opportunity. Only after that will he make a decision on where he plays his football in 2023/24.

  1. That’s sports! That’s football! That’s player management in Barca. A player is only valuable to them in moments of joy, not amid mismanaged trials relating to finance. Messi did not deserve what they did to him. We saw that while watching him bid farewell to the club in grief, emotions and tears. If I were him I would never return to them. He did everything to them. He made good displays and dictated important matches. He assisted and scored goals. He was less chaotic team player. He made history to himself and to the club. He did everything for the club, no doubt, but in the end he was unceremonially sent packing. Now that they were not getting it since then, they seem desperate to convince and woo him back to their squad. To me, NO, if I were the Great, legendary Messi.
