Lionel Messi, the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner, has been at the center of one of the biggest transfer sagas of recent times. His contract with Paris Saint-Germain will expire in the summer, and there have been many rumors about his next move. Among the potential options are Inter Miami, Al-Hilal, and a contract extension with PSG. However, a return to Barcelona has gained the most traction recently, with Blaugrana President Joan Laporta and other club executives expressing their interest in bringing back the club legend.
Despite this interest, Barcelona's financial issues are still the main obstacle to any potential deal. Drastic budget cuts are being planned, which could affect the current playing squad and enable the club to comply with La Liga's Financial Fair Play regulations. It remains unclear whether these measures will enable Barcelona to afford Messi's salary, which is undoubtedly one of the highest in world football.
Amid all these rumors, Messi has been spotted back in Barcelona, leading to suggestions that he may have been there to discuss his future. However, these rumors have been dismissed by Spanish news outlet Mundo Deportivo.
According to Messi's entourage, the Argentine did not visit his former home to begin negotiations for his return to Barcelona. Instead, he and his family were there on a leisure trip, as Messi wanted to relax in warm Catalonia.
With PSG all but confirmed as the Ligue 1 champions after their recent victory over Lens, Messi's future is still uncertain. While a return to Barcelona would undoubtedly be a dream come true for many fans, the club's financial issues make it difficult to see how they could afford to bring him back. In the meantime, Messi is enjoying some downtime with his family in Barcelona, with no concrete plans for his future yet announced.
