The Spanish press reports on Saturday that Lionel Messi and the Barcelona coach have agreed on his return for mid-2023, the date on which he will finish his contract with PSG.

Lionel Messi is once again being touted as an FC Barcelona signing for 2023, once his contract with Paris Saint-Germain expires. According to the newspaper El Nacional de Catalunya, the genius of Rosario has a verbal agreement with his former teammate, friend and now coach of the azulgrana team, Xavi Hernandez.

Although there has been much talk about Messi wanting to move to Barcelona for 2022-23, the Argentine idol has decided to fulfill his two-season contract and then think about a return to Barcelona. He is clear that he will not extend his contract with the French.

"The seven-time Ballon d'Or winner would be willing to forgive Laporta, with whom he ended not in the best terms, in order to return to the team of his life, and return to live in Barcelona. To do so, he has a pact with his friend and former teammate Xavi Hernandez, who would become his coach. If he is still the azulgrana coach in 2023, he has promised him that he will let him return," reports El Nacional on Saturday.

Messi's reasons for returning to Barcelona are not only due to his failed adaptation to French soccer. The South American star and his family miss the capital of Catalonia, where Messi's family left many friends. As it is, the Argentine family would return to the life of before.

A Barcelona legend would continue to write history

In his time at FC Barcelona, Lionel Messi won 10 Spanish leagues, eight Spanish Super Cups, seven Copas del Rey, four editions of the Champions League, three European Super Cups and three Club World Cups, a total of 35 trophies.
