FC Barcelona's response to the signing of Lionel Messi, and the Argentine's reaction
The president of Barcelona referred to the possibility of Lionel's return and his words did not go unnoticed
Barcelona is celebrating the consecration of the most popular team in the city in La Liga after the 4-2 victory in the derby against Espanyol. Now, in the midst of the euphoria for the title, the president -Joan Laporta- took the floor, talked about Lionel Messi and gave the fans a new reason to rejoice.
Although the surroundings of the captain of the Argentine team remain very hermetic regarding Leo's future and they have already warned that they will not make any decisions until the end of the season with PSG, reliable sources such as journalists Gastón Edul and Fabrizio Romano confirm that the Rosario's desire is to return to FC Barcelona at all costs.
Laporta was consulted in dialogue with Jijantes precisely about this possibility, and the Barça boss did not hesitate: "We will do everything possible to bring him back." This implies generating 100 million euros in sales in order to comply with the Financial Fair Play. Along these lines, although the transfer market has not yet started, the club is already preparing the departures of Ansu Fati, Raphinha, Eric García, Ferran Torres and Franck Kessié.
Messi prioritizes Barcelona before money
La Pulga wants to return to Catalonia for various reasons that are imposed on the economic. Al-Hilal offers him up to 600 million euros per season, but Lionel is willing to earn "only" 13 million with the aim of returning to what was always his home and continuing to compete at the highest level for the Copa América in 2024.
