The first vice president of FC Barcelona, Rafael Yusteconfirmed at the press conference to present the tenth edition of the ‘Barça Academy World Cup’ that the culé sports management is in contact with Leo Messi’s entourage to test the return of the Argentine star to the Spotify Camp Nou. Joan Laporta’s right-hand man, who believes that “beautiful stories in life must end well”, has positioned himself in favor of the return of the best player in the history of the Catalan entity.
“Leo [Messi] and his family know the affection I have for them. I participated in the negotiations that unfortunately did not lead to success. I have the thorn in me that Leo could not continue in our club. If we are talking about Masia and grassroots football, we are talking about Messi. Of course I would love to see him come back. For what it could represent at a sporting, social and economic level. We are in contact with them, yes”, has been his answer to the question from SPORT.
Yuste has also wished “that all the conditions can fit so that this story of mutual love ends with Messi at Barça”. “When you are in love and you separate from someone, you always want to continue in love. Even if you lose contact. We will always be in love with Leo and he will be in love with Barça and the city of Barcelona. I am one of those who thinks that destiny is wise”, has reflected.
The Barcelona manager has ruled out an immediate offensive by Messi. “There are two months left in which we have to work, especially Mateu and Jordi, to first present our feasibility plan to Tebas. Then, if the conditions are met, because Leo is a PSG player and I would not like to talk about anything other than my tastes and desires, we would expose the possibility of welcoming. We don’t want to meddle in PSG’s day-to-day life”, he declared.
