Lionel Messi left FC Barcelona due to a financial emergency last summer. Since then, the Argentine has been under contract with Paris Saint-Germain. The dissatisfaction of the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner is noticeable, said his former teammate Dani Alves.
After Paris Saint-Germain’s Champions League failure, Lionel Messi recently received whistles from PSG supporters. An unusual situation for the offensive star, he had always been the celebrated hero at FC Barcelona. Rumors arose promptly that the 34-year-old would be aiming for a Barca return (fussball.news reported). Dani Alves, who once caused a sensation with Messi at the Camp Nou, has now commented on this ESPN-Interview.
“At the moment Leo is out of place there”
“I don’t think he’s enjoying it (at PSG; ed.) because Leo makes this game special and he does it when he’s having fun, because when he’s having fun everyone else is having it too Fun,” said Alves, while suggesting a return to FC Barcelona: “He’s out of place for me, Leo is out of place there at the moment. Because Leo lived in the best place in the world for me to do what he does loves. Leo always said to me: Where can you be better than here? And I made sure: There is no better place than here,” said the Brazilian, who has been playing for Barca since January.
“You are nowhere better off than here”
Alves therefore said: “For some reason he’s not here and I hope he can come back. I don’t know but if he comes he would be here with me to enjoy at least a little bit more of it all. Everyone , who leaves here regrets it, everyone. Some will say no because they don’t like to lose, but all who leave regret it because they are nowhere better off than here.” Messi is contractually bound to PSG until 2023. A return to FC Barcelona is likely to be complicated, mainly due to the Argentine’s high salary.
