Lionel Messi will not return to Barcelona! There are no conditions, admits his agent and father Jorge Messi

Few football fans could imagine Lionel Messi at club level in any other jersey than the Barcelona one. However, due to the club’s financial problems, he left in the summer of 2021 for PSG, where his contract will soon expire. However, it does not look like a return to Spain.

Lionel Messi is undoubtedly one of the most iconic players of Barcelona, where he was predicted to spend his entire career.

However, the club had financial difficulties in the summer of 2021 and could not extend the player’s costly contract. Messi thus became a PSG player, where he signed for two years.

He has not yet signed a new contract, leading to speculation of a possible return. The player’s father Jorge Messi even headed to Catalonia, but the outcome of the negotiations will not please Barcelona fans.

“I don’t think he will return to Barcelona. There are no conditions for that,” he told reporters at the airport. He added that he had not spoken to club president Joan Laporta.

In contrast, he was due to meet PSG sporting director Luis Campos this week to discuss a new contract.

The contract should be extended by one year, with an option for another year included if all parties are satisfied.

However, the agent and the club are still at odds over financial compensation, so negotiations will continue. However, an American MLS club is also interested in the player.

This is Inter Miami, the club of former footballer David Beckham, who had already been in talks with the player last autumn. But Messi would probably still like to stay in Europe.
