Despite the known differences between Lionel Messi and the current Barcelona administration, the Argentine legend still dreams of returning and wearing the Blaugrana shirt again before retiring.
This is what was stated by a report from the “Elgoldigital” website, which confirmed that Messi has a clear plan to play again for Barça.
Messi left Barcelona in 2021 due to the stifling economic crisis at the time, and moved for free to Paris Saint-Germain for two years, and from there he headed to Inter Miami in the summer of 2023.
Messi’s contract with the American club extends until December 2025, and according to the source, the 36-year-old’s plan is to move to Barcelona after that on a free transfer.
Messi hopes to wear the Barcelona shirt for a year or two before leaving football forever, and moving to Barça may be a good opportunity for him to prepare for the 2026 World Cup with Argentina.
In the end, the source remains very weak and the veracity of its information cannot be confirmed, especially since Messi’s relationship with Barça president Joan Laporta is very bad, and the flea considers Laporta to be the reason for his departure and not just the economic crisis.
At the same time, Messi has repeatedly stressed his happiness to play in America and how he finds freedom there to live his life without pressure, so Inter Miami will most likely be the last line in the player’s story with football.
But it remains possible that Messi will decide to end his career with Barcelona as well, given his confirmation in every interview of how much he loves the Blaugrana and that his family is very attached to Catalonia despite everything that has happened.
