Everything is very recent, it is information that flies fast. PSG put the points on Lionel Messi, regarding his future. By not renewing the contract and the "lack of discipline" that the French media claim the player committed, they put an end to the "sports entity" - "professional" relationship.

It is here where the club that saw him born is reborn, nothing more and nothing less than FC Barcelona, it should be remembered that Messi left the Catalan team, due to having differences at that time with Joan Laporta. Various clubs can sound like, Manchester City for its proximity to Guardiola or Newells old boys, for being a native of Rosario. But whenever the Barça colors sound, the Spaniards will have more chances.

Last year and even a few months ago, whenever the world champion appeared in Catalonia, the mainstream media made striking headlines about a possible return, in addition to having his former teammate, Xavi Hernández, in the technical direction.

Who is the mysterious character that could bring about the return of the prodigal son?

All paths indicate that Deco, Leo's teammate in his early days, would be named the club's new sports director. The former national player of Portugal never completely separated from Barcelona, although he said goodbye as a player to the institution in 2008. He joined again in 2021 with the task of scouting high-quality Portuguese and Brazilian players. This sense of belonging and his good relationship with the greatest idol can serve to materialize the latter's return.
