Even if he wants to return to Barça for love, the reason that prevents Messi's return

While in France they talk about Lionel Messi not having to continue at PSG after the elimination from the Champions League, at FC Barcelona they dream of his return after two years. However, even if the captain of the Argentine team gives up a large part of his salary, one reason would block his long-awaited return to the Camp Nou, Catalan fans cry.

In Europe, there is discussion about what will happen to the top winner of the Ballon d'Or (7), especially after PSG's failure in the Champions League. After the eighth consecutive setback of the 'Flea' in the continental contest, in France they exploded against him and the press and ultras hope that his renewal will not materialize until 2024, as had been discussed a few weeks ago.

FC Barcelona does not lose sight of what is happening with the '10' of the Albiceleste and Joan Laporta, president of the club, would hope that the Argentine's "love" for the team will cause him to resign part of his salary. Currently, according to the newspaper 'Marca', the world champion earns 30 million euros net at PSG, while Frenkie de Jong is the highest paid element at Barça and receives 14 million.

Even if he reduces his salary, a scandal would prevent his return:

Although the blaugranas are excited about the return of Lionel Messi, out of the corner of their eyes they observe what happens in 'Negreira Case'. The Catalan club is accused of paying former referee Enríquez Negreira to favor the team with arbitration actions. Although Laporta and the Culé dome are calm, the scandal could lead to the exclusion of Barcelona from the next Champions League. If UEFA's decision is confirmed, Messi would not agree to return, since he still has the hope of winning the continental title once again.
