Joan Laporta, who was forced to allow Lionel Messi to exit the club two years ago amid the club’s dire economic circumstances, has vowed to do everything in his power to bring him back this summer as he approaches the end of his PSG contract. See below for the latest Lionel Messi Barcelona news following the club’s league title triumph on Sunday night.
Lionel Messi Barcelona News
It has been widely reported that Lionel Messi will bring the curtain down on his short-lived PSG career this summer, although his father and agent Jorge Messi was quick to dispel rumours, admitting his son will decide once the season has concluded.
The hurt of the gut-wrenching pictures showing Messi alone in front of the press still feel fresh in Catalonia – tears streaming down his face while his family looked on with uncertainty as their lives were uprooted overnight.
La Liga posed several obstacles for the Blaugrana two years ago, who were deemed to be in no fit state to register the seven-time Ballon D’or winner.
Although returning president Joan Laporta has expertly steadied the sinking ship by selling off chunks of merchandising and broadcasting rights, they still remain in conflict with the league, who recently blocked the registration of Gavi and Marcos Alonso.

In order to bring in new players, La Liga president Javier Tebas said the club must raise over €200m in order to balance their wage bill by the beginning of next season.
Laporta has so far been quiet on the issue of bringing Messi back to Barca, but against the backdrop of a first title victory since the Argentine’s exit on Sunday night, he pledged to do everything in his power to make it happen.
Club legend and loyal servant Sergio Busquets has already confirmed he will leave, while rumours linking the likes of Ferran Torres, Ansu Fati and Raphinha with an exit refuse to die down.
This may be enough to see La Liga persuaded into sanctioning a move, and the president appeared to be in a particularly bullish mood after sealing the title.
“We will do everything we can to bring Leo Messi back to Barcelona,” he told Jijantes.
