Lionel Messi's father, Jorge, confirmed that negotiations to bring his son back to the Nou Camp were going smoothly.
This morning, June 5 (Madrid time), Mr. Jorge met with the Barca delegation, headed by President Joan Laporta. According to transfer news expert Fabrizio Romano, the negotiation process went smoothly, making the possibility of the 35-year-old striker returning to the Nou Camp more obvious.
"Leo wants to return to Barca and I want to do the same. I can say that we are confident that this prospect will come true. Moving to Barca is one of the options for Leo. You will soon know what the future holds," Romano quoted Mr. Jorge.

A key factor that gives Messi's return to Barca a great chance of success is that La Liga has approved the financial balance plan presented by Barca at a recent meeting. This helps the Catalan club solve the biggest problem. In the summer of 2021, Messi had to leave Barca after 21 years of association because the club could not meet La Liga's financial regulations.
Messi became a free agent after his two-year contract with PSG expired. He has been courted by many clubs. According to Athletic , three teams are targeting him: Barca, Inter Miami (USA) and a Saudi Arabian club. Of these, only the Saudi side has made an official offer to Messi, with a contract worth $400 million per year.
However, at the age of 35, Messi still wants to return to Barca to contribute to the club that made his name. At this time, the Nou Camp team is led by coach Xavi - Messi's teammate and senior mentor in the early years of his career.
Messi scored 32 goals in 74 matches for PSG, helping the team win Ligue 1 for two consecutive seasons. However, the last days playing for the French capital club were not smooth for the Argentine striker. He was booed by home fans, demanding to leave. On June 3, when Messi played his last match for PSG, losing 2-3 to Clermont, he continued to suffer this. The opposition to Messi is part of the anger of PSG fans aimed at important figures at the club, including president Nasser Al Khelaifi, coach Christophe Galtier and Neymar.
