Latest on Barcelona’s hopes of agreeing remarkable Nou Camp return.
The ‘bring back Lionel Messi’ campaign by the media, fans and even the manager at Barcelona is growing by the day.
And while the heart tells everyone the homecoming of their greatest son is written in the stars, the head says there are many hurdles to overcome before it becomes reality.
No-one knows this better than the decision-makers at Barcelona – especially president Joan Laporta, who decided two seasons ago that Messi was unaffordable despite having assured him a deal was in place to keep him.
The 35-year-old Argentina forward, who is Barcelona’s all-time top scorer with 672 goals in 778 games, still has a deal on the table at Paris St-Germain, but with doubts about their future plans hopes grow at the Nou Camp the return could be on.
Where are we at the moment?
Messi’s commitment to PSG ends this summer, and with no movement on extending his stay in France, Barcelona want him back.
However, the dreams of just about everyone at the club crash head-on with the stark reality.
Barcelona have a wage bill of about 600m euros (£531m) which they need to reduce by 200m (£177m).
