Surprise meeting between Laporta and Messi's father: "Leo would love to return to Barça"

Leo Messi continues to defoliate the daisy to decide his future, but what is clear is what his top priority is: to return to Barça. This was stated by the footballer's father and agent, Jorge Messi, after meeting briefly with the president of the Barça club, Joan Laporta, at the house that the Barcelona leader has on Avenida Diagonal in Barcelona. A meeting that tried to be carried out with the maximum possible discretion and that was finally revealed by the journalist Toni Juanmartí. The meeting finally lasted for about 40 minutes.

We don't know anything about whether he will return.. Leo would love to return to Barça, that would be his preferred option, but we don't know anything yet. We'll see and make a decision shortly.. Before we have to talk about a lot of things,” Jorge Messi said after the meeting before a large group of journalists.. “Messi wants to return to Barça and I would love him to return. It is an option, yes,” the father and agent of the Argentine soccer player stressed almost hastily, who also confessed to feeling confident that this option could become a reality.

For the moment, the Barça club is still waiting to receive the go-ahead from LaLiga for its feasibility plan to be able to present a firm offer to a Leo Messi who said goodbye to PSG last weekend. For the moment, the footballer would have two very different proposals on the table. On the one hand, there would be Al-Hilal, which is willing to throw the house out the window to put on the table a proposal that, according to some sources, would be around 400 million euros per season. On the other hand, there would be the option of playing for Inter Miami in the MLS, the U.S. professional league. A city in which the player, in fact, already has a spectacular apartment.

In recent hours, the option that seemed most likely to become is that of Saudi Arabia. Above all, after the azulgrana president came to point out that the signing of the Argentine was “very difficult”. However, this meeting with the player’s father and agent may open a new scenario. One in which Leo Messi’s long-desired last dance as a Azulgrana could be closer to becoming a reality.
