🚨BREAKING: Deco on Messi's possible RETURN to Barcelona in 2023
Barcelona sporting director Deco has opened up about the possibility of Lionel Messi returning to the Catalan club in 2023, shedding light on the factors that ultimately led the Argentine superstar to sign with Inter Miami instead. Speaking candidly, Deco acknowledged that personal reasons and Messi’s pursuit of happiness played a central role in the decision.
“Sometimes there were personal matters,” Deco said. “Maybe he wanted to go to Miami after his time in Paris. The most important thing was to find himself again and be happy.”
Messi’s departure from Paris Saint-Germain marked the end of a challenging two-year spell in France, where he often seemed distant from the joy that once defined his football at Barcelona. With fans around the world speculating about a potential fairytale return to Camp Nou, hopes were high that the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner would don the Blaugrana jersey once again. However, Deco’s comments suggest the emotional and psychological demands of returning to Barcelona may have deterred Messi.
“Maybe he wouldn’t have found that in Barcelona because the pressure there is so big,” Deco added.
The pressure Deco refers to is not unfamiliar to Messi, who spent over two decades at the club, becoming its all-time leading scorer and the face of a golden generation. But returning after two years away, with the club still navigating financial instability and squad rebuilding, may have placed an enormous burden on the 2022 World Cup winner.
By choosing Inter Miami, Messi took a different path—one that prioritized quality of life, family, and a new chapter in a less demanding football environment. The move to Major League Soccer also opened doors for Messi to expand his legacy off the pitch, particularly in a growing U.S. market.
Deco’s remarks underscore the human side of Messi’s decision—a reminder that even legends must weigh more than just sporting ambitions. Ultimately, Messi chose peace, family, and freedom in Miami over the intense spotlight of Barcelona.
