Lionel Messi’s father had given hope to Barça supporters. But the return of the Pulga to Catalonia is now highly unlikely, as the offer sent by Joan Laporta is humiliating for the Argentine world champion.
This Monday, after meeting the boss of FC Barcelona, Jorge Messi had caused a huge earthquake. ” Lionel Messi wants to return to Barça, and I too want him to come back. It’s an option, but do I trust that he can make a comeback? Yes ! “, said the father of the sevenfold Ballon d’Or after his appointment. Faced with the colossal offer from Saudi Arabia, ready to put in more than a billion euros to bring in the Argentine world champion, Barça seemed to be back in the running. This Wednesday, the daily Sport, rather close to the Spanish Champion, admits that the offer that the Blaugrana have sent to the Messi clan is not far from shameful. Even to the point that one has to wonder if it has the slightest chance of being studied, as it is not up to the legend that is Lionel Messi.

If Barcelona fans cried foul when they heard the whistles falling from the stands of the Parc des Princes for Leo Messi, what will they say about the proposal made by their club to bring back the Argentine star? Sergi Capdevila, journalist for Sport, reveals that Barça’s offer to Lionel Messi ” cannot guarantee him 100% that he will be registered in La Liga “. Joan Laporta is confident that the financial worries will be resolved to make this operation a success, yes, but the Barcelona president is not absolutely certain. And so he can’t tell the former Paris Saint-Germain player that he can play next season if he accepts the Barcelona offer. A huge snub even though Jorge Messi warned that a decision would be made before the end of the week. And the timing is catastrophic.
Sign at Barça without playing, the offer made to Leo Messi
Faced with this timing, and while Saudi Arabia has increased the pressure on Lionel Messi, the Catalan club is completely at a standstill. ” At Barca, the feeling is that it will take a few more weeks to sort this out. But Messi, who was in favor of a return, is not ready to give time. He hasn’t forgotten what happened in 2021 when he was cornered by the club and had no choice but to sign for PSG “explains the journalist. In other words, it is a first class funeral that is preparing for this comeback of Leo Messi to FC Barcelona. But Joan Laporta will always be able to say that he has tried everything, and even to send a not far from grotesque offer to the darling of Camp Nou.
