Xavi Hernandez makes Lionel Messi transfer decision ahead of a move back to Barcelona

Xavi Hernandez makes Lionel Messi transfer decision ahead of a move back to Barcelona.

As of right now, there hasn’t been any significant development in the story of Lionel Messi’s tearful return to FC Barcelona next summer, but journalist Toni Juanmarti recently claimed that Xavi is already thrilled about the prospect of coaching his buddy and former teammate.

The current state of affairs is the same as it was a few weeks ago. Lionel Messi is currently more concerned with participating in his final world cup and then finishing the season with Paris Saint-Germain on a good note than he is with his future.

According to earlier rumors, Barcelona had already started talks with the Argentine. However, Juanmarti maintains that as of right now, there have been no talks between the parties, largely because Messi is still unhappy with Barcelona’s treatment of him.

The doors are always open for Messi to return, according to Eduard Romeu, Barça’s economic vice president, who said this recently.

Messi has open doors and is a benefit to the club. Whether his economic viability?

We are capable of working miracles, he had claimed. Despite this, Messi is still severely harmed by Barça.

The club legend was forced to quit Barcelona in the summer of 2021 due to the team’s inability to pay for him to sign a new contract. Consequently, he was given a free transfer to PSG, where he has since adjusted successfully despite a challenging first season.

While Messi’s current contract with the French capital club extends through 2023, it should be remembered that there is an option for another year, but no progress has been made in those negotiations either because Leo will only make a decision on his future after the World Cup.

Furthermore, it is obvious that PSG wants Messi to stay, but after the pivotal match in Qatar, Barcelona’s strategy and Xavi’s one-on-one communications may be crucial.

Furthermore, according to Toni Juanmarti, Xavi has already created a blueprint with Messi in mind.

According to reports, the 42-year-old is thrilled about the prospect of working with his former teammate and is aware of how the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner would fit into his plans for the new Barcelona squad.

But in order to carry out the operation, Mateu Alemany’s viewpoint will also count for a lot.

Despite all the rumors, a decision about Messi’s future won’t be made until after the World Cup is over. But the fact that Xavi has already come up with some plans for incorporating the former club captain into his new-look team next season is encouraging for Barcelona.
