For most of the first half of 2023, speculation about Lionel Messi’s future has been on the rise.
The Argentine had decided not to renew his contract with Paris Saint-Germain and as a result, rumors about his next club started spreading like wildfire.
FC Barcelona were one of the clubs most interested in signing Messi, and they were in pole position to sign the Argentine. However, the latter decided not to return to Catalonia, as he feared not to be registered.
Instead, Messi joined Inter Miami but Joan Laporta has now revealed that LaLiga have given Barcelona approval to re-sign Messi this summer.
“We had the authorization from La Liga to adapt Leo’s contract. It’s something that was discussed with Jorge and everything was defined. »
Messi’s reluctance to return to Barcelona was largely about this issue, but now it appears the Blaugrana would have had no trouble re-signing their greatest player of all time.
FC Barcelona have since moved on from the Messi saga, although the registration issues, which didn’t seem too serious at the start of the summer, are still ongoing.
