The return of Lionel Messi to the FC Barcelona begins to take shape. After two seasons in the Paris Saint-Germain, the Argentine footballer would be on his way to finalizing his return to the Camp Nou for the 2023-24 campaign. The vice president of the Barça institution, Rafa Yuste, has already confirmed that the club wants to have the Rosario genius back in their ranks. Without a doubt, there is optimism among the directors and also in the dressing room. And it is that according to the newspaper Sport, the still ’30′ of the psg he gave a glimpse before the first team players that he will put on the culer ‘samarreta’ again.
In the contact he has had with his former teammates, and great friends from the locker room, such as Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba, Messi has not ruled out returning to Barcelona for next season. However, both he and the dressing room know that he not only depends on the Argentine, but also on the club.
“Messi still maintains contact with several of his ex-teammates and in private conversations he has left this possibility open. Everyone is aware of the economic difficulties to carry out the operation, with Javier Tebas on the lookout with the financial Fair Play, but the option is on the table ”, post the source.
The Barcelona dressing room, as is logical, has already let Messi know that they would receive him with open arms. On the Argentine side, there is also the will to return to remove that bitter taste that his forced departure left him in 2021, in the absence of financial resources to renew.
Coach Xavi would be the first to welcome him. He has not publicly hidden that he would love to work with Leo again and players who do not know him personally, such as Lewandowski, have also spoken in favor of his return.
What is the economic plan for Messi?
Barcelona’s plan is to offer him a modest salary for a player of his lineage. However, he will compensate the losses of ’10 ′ with the money that comes from the sponsors attracted by his return to LaLiga, after two seasons playing in the Parque de los Príncipes.
“The most convincing formula is to offer him an economic amount according to the delicate situation of the club. In exchange, they would study paying him a high percentage of the income that reaches the club’s coffers for possible sponsorships attracted by his return ”, publishes the newspaper La Vanguardia.
