FC Barcelona have been preparing the ground for a possible return of Messi to their training club for several weeks. President Joan Laporta, who had to let the Argentine No.10 go in the summer of 2021, keeps saying he regrets the way it all turned out, and believes Messi deserved another outing in Catalonia.
PSG would like to renew Messi
More recently, Eduard Romeu, economic vice-president of the Catalan club, confirmed thata return of Messi to Barça was financially possible, due to the work carried out for several months by Laporta and his team. ” If it came back it would be for free, so it would be viable as far as my domain goes, even though I didn’t include it in the budget, explained Eduard Romeu to Catalunya Radio.

This Monday, Le Parisien announced that PSG intended to offer a contract extension to the Argentinian strikerwho is making an excellent start to the season and finally feels at ease in Ligue 1.
