The rumours about the possible return of Leo Messi to Barcelona have been circulating for months. Several key figures have weighed in on the matter. Here’s what they had to say:
Barcelona President Rafael Yuste
“Leo and his family know the affection I have for them. I participated in the negotiations which unfortunately did not lead to a certain result. I’ve always had and I have this thorn in my side that Leo couldn’t continue at our club. Messi knows how much we appreciate him. I would love for him to come back. We’re in contact, of course, with them.”
Yuste’s comments indicate that Barcelona is still interested in bringing Leo Messi back to the club. And that the two parties are in communication. He also expressed regret that negotiations failed to keep Messi at the club, indicating that there is a desire to make things right.

He’s the best player in the world and in history.”
