Lionel Messi is letting his dad do the talking as he closes in on a sensational return to Barcelona.
The World Cup winner is leaving PSG in acrimonious circumstances, despite helping the Parisian giants to a second successive Ligue 1 title. The Argentinian was jeered by fans in his final appearance on Sunday, having left club officials irate over his impromptu business trip to Saudi Arabia in May.
The saga only served to fuel rumours that Messi's next move would be to the Middle East, with the Saudi Pro League now boasting Real Madrid icons Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema in their ranks. Another Barca icon in Sergio Busquets is also being targeted with a mega-money offer.
