Lionel Messi is out of contract with Paris Saint-Germain this summer and there have been suggestions that he plans to return to Barcelona next summer – but it is understood no decision has been made.
Messi joined PSG on a two-year contract 12 months ago from the Catalan giants as a free agent and after a difficult first season in the French capital – where he netted just six domestic goals – he now appears to be finding his top form. The 35-year-old has already bagged six goals this campaign, alongside multiple assists.
That has led to suggestions from Barca's economic vice president Eduard Romeu that a sensational return to the Camp Nou for the Argentine would be possible. Messi left the club as they could not afford to register his contract and wages – an obstacle that has been overcome due to the sale of club assets and an influx of cash.
