Barcelona have been transparent about their desire to bring Messi back to the club. However, the financial structure of the club was the reason for the player's departure and could play a lead role in restricting them to bring the player back. The 7 times Ballon d'Or holder will need a positive signal from La Liga to Barcelona to process his successful transfer.

Lionel Messi's relationship with the French club has never been the way it was with Barca but it came to worse after the player was suspended for 2 weeks after he left for a vacation to Saudi Arabia with his family. That incident got many PSG fans fumed, claiming that the Argentine star is not serious about the team and was welcomed with whistles and boos during the French league fixtures.

What could be Lionel Messi's new club?

Messi is just weeks away before his PSG contract expires in the Summer window of transfer.

Messi would be signed by the MLS team as a free agent this summer and then loaned to the Catalan powerhouse for a period of 18 months, under the agreement.
