FC Barcelona Vice President Eduard Romeu recently spoke about the possibility of Lionel Messi returning to his childhood club.
After joining FC Barcelona at a very young age, Lionel Messi graduated from the famous La Masia. He was later promoted to the main team.
After joining the main team, it took much less time for Messi to settle down and he went on to establish himself as one of the greatest players in football history. He won many trophies with Barcelona and made it one of the strongest teams in the world. Messi’s love for Barcelona was unparalleled and it was thought that the Argentine striker would only retire at the Blaugrana.
However, things did not develop that way. Despite Barça’s brilliant show on the pitch, the club was having major financial problems due to serious mismanagement. Barcelona failed to register Messi’s new contract and the Argentine had to leave his beloved club with tears in his eyes.
Can Lionel Messi return to FC Barcelona?
After his departure from Barcelona, Lionel Messi joined French giants Paris Saint-Germain on a 2-year deal.
Despite a rocky start to his first season, he won the Ligue 1 title with PSG. However, this time the Argentine is off to a good start. He has already scored eight goals for PSG in all competitions and has also given them eight assists.
Messi has scored in the last five games for club and national team and is one of the fittest players in the world. However, his double contract will expire at the end of the season. Hence, speculations have begun about whether he will rejoin Barcelona. Now, the vice president of Barcelona, Eduard Romeu, has spoken about it.
At a recent press conference, Romeu said: “If the club wants to bring him back, we will get to work on the financial side of the deal.”
He further added: “We know how to make miracles happen. The doors are always open for Messi”.
After the arrival of Joan Laporta, Barcelona has drastically improved its economic position and has reinforced its squad with many important signings. The club is now on the way to regain lost glory. Now, if they can add Lionel Messi back to the club, they will surely get another big boost.
Meanwhile, Messi is currently concentrating on the upcoming World Cup in Qatar 2022. The Argentine has recently confirmed that this will be his last World Cup. He now hopes to arrive in Qatar at his best possible pace.
PSG are also looking to extend his contract. But Lionel Messi will only make a decision about his future after the completion of the World Cup.
