According to Tasnim news agency, Barcelona club president Juan Laporta, who failed to fulfill his main election promise of renewing Lionel Messi’s contract, did not rule out the possibility of the player’s return to the Blues. Last summer, 34-year-old Messi left the Blues after 21 years and joined Paris Saint-Germain due to Barcelona’s inability to renew his contract and due to La Liga’s salary cap rules.
On the sidelines of Barcelona’s pre-season tour in America, Laporta said in an interview with “ESPN” TV channel: I think and of course I hope that the story of Messi and Barcelona is not over yet. This possibility (Leo’s return) still exists. It is our duty to make sure that this story has a better ending than what happened. As the president of FC Barcelona, I feel indebted to him.
The 34-year-old Messi, who has a contract with Paris Saint-Germain until the end of June 2023, played in 34 games for the Parisians last season and scored 11 goals and provided 15 assists.
