Barcelona took a major blow this week when they were knocked out of the Champions League, as the loss at Camp Nou to Bayern Munich showed the weakness of Xavi’s side. Only Lionel Messi can revive hope.
Barcelona leaders and supporters may want to reassure themselves by pointing out that their favorite club is only three points behind Real Madrid in La Liga, and Blaugrana’s new early elimination in the Champions League still has not passed. Even if Xavi did his best, FC Barcelona is no longer a great European player, and in a club that has long dominated the old continent, this has not happened. Especially since Lionel Messi, who was fired like a dog last year, shines again, but this time in the colors of Paris Saint-Germain, the club that has imposed a high price on reassembled will take Neymar in 2017. The 220 million euros that Paris Saint-Germain paid to cover the Brazilian star’s expenses has been spent haphazardly, to the point of not being able to renew Leo Messi’s contract in 2021. But together with Joan Laporta, we think it’s time for revenge. The French club often nicknamed Saint-Germain Prison In Spain because of the attitude of the Qatari leaders when the player wants to leave before the end of his contract.
Lionel Messi is free in June 2023, Barcelona believes in it
Because for the president of FC Barcelona, it is unbearable to see that Bulga, the idol of Barcelona for many years, can finally prove that he was not a player in one club. So when we want to join Nasser Al-Khelaifi and Luis Campos to extend Leo Messi’s contract with Paris Saint-Germain for one or two additional seasons, Joan Laporta wants him to bring the Argentine star back From the next transfer window in January. This was confirmed by the Catalan sports newspaper “Sport”, which has always been well informed when it comes to Barcelona, on Saturday. Even if the Spanish leaders have not yet communicated directly with Lionel Messi, and if the latter has not spoken to Laporta since his departure to Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2021, the secret dream is to take advantage of the club’s contractual situation. Seven times the Ballon d’Or, free in June 2023, to convince him to return to the club where he is considered an icon.
Sports journalist Albert Massono explains that FC Barcelona will have a freer hand in financial terms in the winter transfer period with the application of the so-called 1/1 rule, which is that in order to spend 1 euro you have to save 1 during the last summer transfers. window, and that will still be the case in the summer of 2023, Barcelona will have to save 4 euros before spending 1. This small window in January allows Barcelona leaders to dream about the return of Lionel Messi, even if our colleague admits that it will not be easy and not only for financial reasons, knowing that from an accounting point of view, the Argentine player’s salary is still calm. A bone you swallow (40 million euros a year).
Messi is a seller more than Neymar and Mbappe
On the PSG side, this story will probably make people smile, Nasser Al-Khelaifi is not one to let a contracted player go that easilyEspecially when it comes to Lionel Messi. Since joining the capital club in August 2021, the 30th Paris Saint-Germain player has pushed the French champions into a new dimension from a marketing perspective, with Leo Messi ahead of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe when it comes to shirt sales. More importantly, the Argentine is breaking home this season and it is clear that his departure to FC Barcelona or elsewhere will be forgotten.
