John Laporta he turned on the culés more after the first Olympic round of the local post-start tournament by Lionel Messi. Presidentwho was seen celebrating effusively with the players indoors. He gave his version of Leo’s situation and said he wants him for next season. Now,What is the reality of the best in the world with the club in which he established himself, starting to play from a young age? Here, questions and answers of a case that will have many more chapters.
Does Barcelona want Messi?
Without a doubt. Taking into account that he closes his contractual relationship with PSG and he will not continue in a club beyond the fact that he will win the local tournament, he welcomes the return of the great idol, who put the club at the top of the world with several Champions Leagues and different types of tournaments.
Does Messi want Barcelona?
Although Leo does not talk about his future, It is clear that he is also seduced by the return. He has a great relationship with coach Xavi, he has his house in Casteldefells and many friends. It is clear that she likes the city a lot, where her three children were born. And Antonela also has many friends. Of course, this is only one aspect to take into account. It is not decisive, but there are other factors that influence.
Is Barcelona in a financial position to hire him?
This is a big question and not a minor one. Today the issue does not mainly go through Messi’s aspirationsbut because of the budget that the club must present (and be approved) before LaLiga for the next season. He is forced to reduce his salary mass, that’s why a player like Sergio Busquets left. But more is needed. And there is no chance that a player, whatever his name is, will go for free, to lower the club’s costs. So, although at the age of 36 (he turns it on June 24) he may be predisposed to resign to return to Barcelona, beyond the multi-million dollar proposal from Saudi Arabia, the club must put together a logical and realistic budget that is accepted by LaLiga. And that is not easy: there must be casualties and perhaps income from sales. On the other hand, it must be taken into account that Barcelona will play next season in a smaller stadium due to the remodeling of the Camp Nou, with which the income will be lower.
How does the Negreira case weigh with UEFA?
A few months ago, Barcelona has also been on everyone’s lips for alleged payment to the vice referee at other times. In the midst of this scandal and complaints, there is fear of what UEFA can define: It is speculated, without official information, that a chance is that they leave the team without participating in the Champions League. If so, it would be a blow for the aspiration to have Messi again. On the other hand, would UEFA miss out on the chance to have Leo in the top club competition worldwide? It is difficult for that to happen and, in addition, it would make it more difficult for Barcelona financially.
What do the Catalans want?
They sing it in every game after ten minutes, they sang it in the celebration on Sunday night and even this Monday: “Meeeessssi, Meeeessssi!!!”. Everyone wants the great idol to return to the club. Not for nothing did the eccentric Laporta come out now to speak, to tell his version.
How is the relationship Messi-Laporta?
It is clear that they have known each other for a long time. But the surprise decision of the president, after being elected, in 2021, hit 10 hard. And although they greeted each other in The Best, it never goes down well that Laporta makes public statements with respect to Leo and more when what reality indicates is to be cautious and not get ahead of the facts.
What can happen?
Messi has three games left at PSG (two away and the last one at the Parque de los Príncipes), he hopes to reach that end with an Olympic return in France and his initial desire is to continue in the top European competition. He clearly knows about Barcelona’s economic-financial difficulties and that is why he cannot wait until the last moment to define his future for the 23-24 season. He must have some security nod so that his return to Barcelona can take place. It is not easy, mainly due to the finances of the Catalan club, nor is it impossible. This is soccer…
