FC Barcelona vice-president Eduard Romeu says the club will pay a proper tribute to Lionel Messi, but refused to speculate on a possible return to the team.
Messi has been linked with a return to FC Barcelona since leaving for Paris Saint-Germain in 2021. However, the Argentine hero opted to join Inter Miami this summer instead of returning to his former team.
With the MLS season set to end at the end of the year, the prospect of Messi returning on loan to Barca has resurfaced, especially as Inter Miami were excluded from the MLS playoffs at the end of the regular season. However, the transfer was deemed impossible due to FC Barcelona’s ongoing financial difficulties.
The seven-time Ballon d’Or winner will at least have the opportunity to receive a tribute from Barcelona fans when the Camp Nou is open again, and Romeu is confident that will happen.
“ The only thing I wish, and the day and hour will surely come, when circumstances are favorable, is that we can pay him a great tribute.”he told L’Esportiu. “ He deserves it and we look forward to it.
“The rest is just speculation, we don’t even talk about this topic, because we’ve already talked about it too many times. »
