Joan Laporta, the president of Barcelona, recently showed his support for Lionel Messi and reassured him that the club will always be his home. Despite having left the Nou Camp in 2021 after spending 21 years with the club, Messi has been constantly linked with a return to Barcelona. Laporta’s comments, shared by Fabrizio Romano through Sport, suggest that there might be a possibility for Messi to come back to his former team.
In 2021, Lionel Messi made a move to PSG from Barcelona. However, rumors have been circulating about his possible return to the Catalan club. When asked about this, Laporta supposedly stated that Barcelona will always be Messi’s home and hinted at the potential for a dramatic comeback in 2023. Despite this, he remained guarded when pressed about the possibility of a transfer, stating that the club is always on the lookout for new additions to the team ahead of every window.
According to Barca president Joan Laporta, Lionel Messi will always have a home at the club, despite rumors of his return. Laporta shared that their summer plan was successful as they achieved most of their objectives, resulting in a more competitive and balanced team than the previous season. The team is constantly looking for ways to improve, but injuries have prevented them from realizing the new players’ potential. Messi, who scored 672 goals in 778 games for Barcelona, is the Spanish giants’ all-time record goal-scorer and most decorated player. Last year, he moved to PSG, albeit reluctantly, and helped them retain the Ligue 1 Championship alongside former Barca player Neymar and French star Kylian Mbappe.
Over the course of 20 years, Messi rose to become an iconic figure at Barcelona, solidifying his status as the team’s most highly decorated player.
