It’s no secret that Lionel Messi (34 years old, 18 games and 2 goals in L1 this season) is having a rather complicated first season with Paris Saint-Germain. And despite his contract until 2023, plus an optional year, the Argentinian is already considering leaving the capital club according to information from journalist Gerard Romero. To go where ? At FC Barcelona, the club of his life, which he left in spite of himself last summer.
According to our colleague, generally very well informed about Barça, Jorge Messi, father and agent of the sevenfold Ballon d’Or, would have called one of the Barcelona leaders to test the waters regarding a return. A phone call that took place “several days ago”, specifies Romero, before the elimination of PSG by Real Madrid in the Champions League?
In any case, the call was held before the whistles of the Parc des Princes for “La Pulga” on Sunday against Bordeaux (3-0), and there is no doubt that this bronca will not make Messi want to drag on at Paris. But does the Blaugrana club really have the means (and the desire?) to bring the Argentinian back to Catalonia? That’s yet another story…
