FC Barcelona vice president confirms ongoing discussions about reuniting with the Argentina star.

FC Barcelona has opened discussions with Lionel Messi regarding a potential return to the club this summer, according to the club’s vice president, Rafa Yuste. Messi, whose contract with Paris St-Germain expires this summer, left Barcelona in 2021 due to the club’s financial struggles.

At a recent press conference, Yuste revealed that Barcelona has been in touch with Messi’s representatives, expressing the club’s ongoing interest in re-signing the Argentine superstar. “Leo and his family know the affection I have for them,” said Yuste, reflecting on his personal connection to Messi. Despite the emotional farewell in 2021, Yuste admitted to a lingering sense of regret over Messi’s departure and reiterated his hope for a reunion.

Barcelona’s desire to bring the World Cup winner back to Camp Nou remains strong, and both parties are currently in contact as they explore the possibility of Messi’s return.
