The seven-time Ballon d’Or winner, Lionel Messi, is retracing his steps back to Catalunya, which was speculated on two years ago when he left Spanish football for Paris Saint-Germain as a free agent. Messi’s contract in France is coming to an end, which means he could be on the move again in the summer of 2023.

With the door open for Barcelona, Gerard Romero claims that the Blaugrana are working with important sponsors to re-sign Messi without violating Financial Fair Play regulations. Investors can assist in making that move possible by agreeing to agreements that would see the Argentine’s low base salary supplemented by a share of the commercial profits that he contributes to.

Barcelona are said to be confident that a deal that suits all parties can be reached, with growing optimism inside Camp Nou that Messi, who previously scored 672 goals for the club while helping them win 10 La Liga titles and four Champions League titles, can be brought back.
