In the midst of his absence at PSG, what they say about Lionel Messi at Barca

Lionel Messi will miss his second consecutive game for PSG due to a calf strain. Christophe Galtier, coach of the Parisians, does not want to risk Leo, who finishes his contract with the French club in mid-2023. In this context, FC Barcelona are once again talking about their intention to see the captain of the Argentine national team in the blaugrana shirt again.

The maximum winner of the Ballon d'Or (7) is having a spectacular season with PSG. Despite his injury-enforced absence against Reims and his non-call-up for the Champions League, the Argentine already has eight goals and eight assists in the 2022-2023 season. His great moment made the French board want to extend his contract until 2025.

However, the 10' of the Albiceleste will make a decision after the World Cup. From Spain they also dream of his return to FC Barcelona. What's more, 'Mundo Deportivo' admitted that Mateu Alemany, sporting director of the Culés, has already drawn up a plan for the return of the winner of 35 titles with the Catalan shirt.

One of the objectives is to add world-class players to accompany Barça's all-time best player. In this context, Barcelona would like to have Lionel Messi, but would not like him to be alone and the project to depend on the Argentine, so they want him to be well supported.

Which players are Barcelona looking for to convince Messi?

Barcelona is focused on the arrival of elements that end their contract in mid-2023. In this way, they would save a large amount in terms of the payment of his fee. Among the options that Barça has to boost the squad led by Xavi Hernández are: Jorginho, N'Golo Kanté, Milan Skriniar and Diogo Dalot.
