Lionel Messi's return to Barcelona is taking longer than expected. The Argentine is still waiting for the formal proposal from the Blaugrana club, but Barça is waiting for LaLiga's approval of the feasibility plan that they have approached. For this reason, the culé team has not been able to issue a specific offer, but Xavi Hernández knows when the decision will be.

Messi will have his last game this Saturday with the Paris Saint-Germain shirt and, after that match, he will have complete freedom to choose his new destination because he will be a free agent. The Parisian club approached him with an offer to renew his relationship, but the Argentine did not accept it because he was not feeling comfortable with the ill-treatment of the ultras.

As for Leo's future, his possible new coach, Xavi, made it clear when he will take a final position in an interview with Mundo Deportivo: "Next week he will make a decision and we have to leave him alone." The coach knows that those around Rosario are impatient, but for that they will have to wait for LaLiga to approve said plan.

In what position does Xavi imagine Leo Messi?

“He can adapt inside, he can play as a winger, he can play as a midfielder, he can play as a false nine, where he has played all his life. In the end you have to find a natural habitat for him to enhance his entire game, but I do see that he can help us a lot, I think we lack that talent in the last third and Leo always gives it to you", Xavi explained about Leo's position and Where would you place it if you were a Barça signing?
