Leo Messi wants to return to Barça: His entourage has made that very clear

According to Mundo Deportivo, people close to Lionel Messi say he is clear about one thing — he wants to return to FC Barcelona in the future. Not as a player, but in some role within the club he still considers home.

Messi’s inner circle says he continues to follow Barcelona’s affairs closely, and his emotional bond with the club has not faded. “He sees the club as his home,” those around him say as he continues his career in the United States.

The eight-time Ballon d’Or winner has never hidden his affection for Barça. Since leaving in 2021, he has often said that Barcelona shaped his life and that he hopes to return someday in a different capacity.

For now, that return is not tied to a specific role. His entourage speaks of a future institutional or sporting position when the right moment comes — something Messi himself has hinted at in interviews.

His symbolic return to the Spotify Camp Nou, still pending since his departure, remains something both he and the fans are waiting for.

Barça keeps the door open

FC Barcelona is fully prepared to welcome him back whenever he chooses. Joan Laporta has publicly said that Messi will always have an open invitation, and a tribute or future collaboration is part of the club’s plans.

The relationship between the two sides has improved after the tension surrounding his exit. Communication between Barca and Messi’s camp is now much smoother.

Sources at the club say Laporta and Deco value Messi not only for his achievements on the pitch but also for his historical and institutional importance.

A return that excites the fans

The idea of Messi returning to the club, even in a non-playing role, has excited supporters. His recent social media post from the Spotify Camp Nou — filled with nostalgia — strengthened that feeling.

“I returned to a place I miss with all my soul,” he wrote, a message that touched Barça fans and was seen by many as a small step toward his eventual return.

There is no date or defined role yet, but the message is clear: Lionel Messi wants to come back. And both the club and his entourage appear ready for that reunion when the time is right…CONTINUE MORE READING>>>
