Argentine journalist Veronica Brunati, who is close to her compatriot, legend Lionel Messi, revealed that he will be a Barcelona player on July 1, next year, following the end of his current contract with Paris Saint-Germain.
Messi, considered by many to be the greatest player of all time, left Paris Saint-Germain in August last year following 17 years in Barcelona, following he and the club failed to reach an agreement to extend the contract due to the financial laws of the Spanish League.
And Brunate wrote on her personal account on Twitter: Starting from July 1, 2023, Lionel Messi will be a player for Barcelona.
Messi’s return to Barcelona will be a victory for its current president, Joan Laporta, who said last summer that he owed Messi a lot on a personal level, wishing that the player would end his sports career in his original club shirt, and have a decent farewell by the fans.
Messi’s relationship with Barcelona worsened in recent years before his departure, following he requested a transfer from the club in August 2020 during the presidency of Josep Maria Bartomeu, before becoming more open to staying following the arrival of Joan Laporta to the presidency, but Barcelona’s financial circumstances prevented “Leo” from that. .
