Gerard Piqué is fighting with Messi and says this about his transfer to Barcelona

The rumors that happened in the last hours of a possible return of Lionel Messi to Barcelona are concrete. At a press conference, Xavi Hernández acknowledged that he is in communication with the Argentine star. The vice president of the Blaugrana, Rafael Yuste, also stated it, who admitted, like the coach, the contact with Leo.

On Friday, part of the Blaugrana leadership had announced that there were negotiations between Lionel Messi's family and the club to explore the possibility of a return to Barcelona when his contract with PSG ends next June. However, the now Spanish businessman Piqué was lapidary when he was consulted by the journalist Gerard Romero in Jijantes.

Gerard Piqué was one of Messi's great teammates at Barcelona. Although in the last hours he decided to lower the statements a bit and he was not very optimistic with the return of the idol. It should be noted that Piqué was slow to congratulate the Argentine after winning him in the World Cup in Qatar 2022.

“Obviously for all the culerada it would be incredible if Leo returned, but there comes a point that forcing situations so much could be counterproductive. I would let it flow on its own. If in the end he has to end up leaving, he will leave. If there is intention on both sides, an operation in the world of football can always be done as long as both parties want and simply as time dictates”, explained the Spaniard.

Piqué and Rafa Yuste's information about Messi

Regarding what the vice president of Barcelona, Yuste, revealed, Piqué did not doubt that the contact with Messi was true: “I know Rafa Yuste and I know what he is like. He is a very good person and he will always tell you what you want to hear. He is a great person and he is going to choose the right words to say what you like to hear. From then on there is no more, as far as I know there is no more."
