FC Barcelona are working on the return of Lionel Messi (35). Catalans are not particularly diplomatic. Vice President Eduard Romeu, Head of Finance, said yesterday at a press conference: “How to play, Messi controls the ball. This is a problem for the sports management. If you think about it, we will get to work. We know how to work miracles”.
However, the current state of the contract speaks for Paris St. Germain. Messi is contractually tied to the Sheikh Club only until the end of the season, but there is an option to extend the contract by a season, so Barça will probably only have access to the prodigal son in 2024. By the way, Messi is 37 years old at the era.
Aside from declarations of love and intention, there is very little left at FC Barcelona. “The doors of the club are always open to Messi”, Romeu let us know. Much water will flow down the Seine before a reunification can take place.
