Crazy reports from Spain: FC Barcelona to make an attempt to bring Lionel Messi back to the Camp Nou in a year and a half. Various Spanish media report that Barca want to pick up the superstar who left this summer on a free transfer if his contract expires in 2023. Xavi should play a major role in that.

To his great sadness, Messi closed the door at FC Barcelona behind him this summer. The 34-year-old star player was unable to extend his contract due to the financial chaos in which the club found itself. Paris Saint-Germain made good use of this and tightened the left leg for a two-year commitment. In Paris he has to help win the Champions League.

However, both FC Barcelona and Messi have not exactly improved since the painful split. Barca are currently in the disappointing middle bracket of Spain, which resulted in Ronald Koeman being fired. Lionel Messi has not yet got the hang of Paris Saint-Germain. Although he has three goals in the Champions League, he is still waiting for his first goal in Ligue 1. Barca would therefore hope that Messi would go the opposite way in 2023. According to Marca, his good friend and current Barça coach Xavi should play a major role in that.

Messi has been struggling with minor aches and pains in recent weeks, which means that PSG cannot rely on him as standard. Still, he chose to get on a plane this week for a trip with the Argentina national team. It provoked much anger among the French administration.
