Barcelona manager Xavi has urged Lionel Messi to "come home" after vice-president Rafa Yuste confirmed the club were in contact over a potentially stunning return this summer.
Camp Nou chiefs have begun their charm offence as Messi approaches the end of his contract with current employers Paris Saint-Germain, whom he joined on a free transfer in August 2021. The Argentine icon was forced to make the gut-wrenching decision to leave Barca after failing to agree a new deal with the club due to their well-documented financial woes.
Barcelona president Joan Laporta, who's always kept the door open for Messi to sensationally return, has spoken to the 35-year-old's father and agent, Jorge, amid a standoff in contract talks with PSG. Now fellow Barca chief Yuste has confirmed that talks regarding a possible homecoming for the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner are under way.
