Gerard Pique and Lionel Messi's relationship did not end well.

After the departure of Lionel Messi from FC Barcelona in 2021, it was revealed that one of the reasons for the farewell was the betrayal of Gerard Piqué. A friend of the top winner of the Ballon d'Or (7) revealed the former defender's conversation with the president of the Catalans, Joan Laporta, to ask him to put together a new sports project without Leo's presence. Now, in an incredible way, Piqué himself would help for the Rosario to return to the Camp Nou.

After confirming the farewell of the captain of the Argentine team of Barça, Alfonso Aguilera, close to the Messi-Roccuzzo family, revealed through Instagram that Piqué betrayed the current PSG striker. Despite the fact that everything was agreed between the Blaugrana board and the world champion's entourage, Laporta decided to step aside and would have made the decision due to Piqué's request to put together a team without the 'Flea' at the helm.

Now, the journalist Luis Rojo from 'Marca' announced that Piqué himself "would help" speed up the return of Lionel Messi to the team where he won 35 titles. It turns out that the ex-defender's farewell a few months ago contributes to Leo making the decision to return to the club where he achieved absolutely everyone. The Spanish communicator emphasized the bad relationship they would have at present and, if Piqué was still in the culé team, the Rosario surely would not think about the option of putting on the Barça shirt again.

When will Messi's final decision on his career be known?

The '10' of the Albiceleste is in no hurry and waits patiently for the FC Barcelona board to present a formal offer. For their part, from the Catalan team they are working on the arrival of new sponsors and it was revealed that they will have a meeting with La Liga to see if there is the green light for Leo to return to Spanish football at the end of this season.
