Lionel Messi set for transfer showdown talks after brutally 'ignoring Barcelona calls'

Lionel Messi plans to hold further talks with MLS club Inter Miami after ‘ignoring phone calls’ from Barcelona – who want him to return the Camp Nou.

Messi joined Paris Saint-Germain on a two-year contract a year ago from Barca as a free agent.
