The news of Messi’s potential return to Camp Nou has excited fans and former players alike. Former Barcelona superstar Thierry Henry, who played alongside Messi at the club from 2007 to 2010, recently expressed his desire for Messi to come back, saying “when I see Leo I see Barça”. Henry played a significant role in Messi’s development, and their partnership was key in the Argentine’s rise to become one of the greatest players of all time.
COULD NEYMAR ALSO RETURN TO THE CAMP NOU?
Despite the excitement surrounding Messi’s potential return, obstacles still need to be overcome before the deal can be finalized. Barça must first reduce their salary mass before they can make an official offer to Messi, and they will also need to seek permission from La Liga. Messi has reportedly been offered contracts worth up to €400 million from Saudi Arabian clubs, which may complicate matters.
Conclusion
Regardless of the challenges, Laporta’s comments have given fans hope that Messi will be wearing the Blaugrana next season. With Barcelona’s first league title in four years, the potential return of Messi, and a bright future under manager Xavi, the club and its supporters have plenty to be optimistic about. As Laporta said, “Barca is Barca”, and there is no place like home for Lionel Messi.
