Barcelona president Joan Laporta is extremely confident that Lionel Messi will make a return to the club in the summer transfer window.
Messi left Barca to join Paris Saint-Germain two years ago, but with his contract set to expire at the end of June, the possibility of a return is on the cards. The 35-year-old has been linked with MLS side Inter Miami, as well as a move to Saudi Arabia, while PSG could still extend his contract.
But the chance to add to his staggering tally of 672 goals, 778 appearances and 35 trophies and play under his former team-mate and friend Xavi Hernandez’s management is an enticing proposition. Laporta recently met with Messi’s father Jorge and is working hard to bring him back to Spain.
