'I don't think so' - Messi's father on Barca return
Lionel
Messi's father and representative Jorge Messi said on Thursday it is unlikely
his son will return to play for Barcelona.
The
35-year-old signed for Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2021 after the
Catalan club were unable to renew his deal because of La Liga's financial fair
play rules.
"I
don't think so, the conditions aren't right," Jorge Messi told reporters
at Barcelona airport.
He said he
had not spoken to Barcelona president Joan Laporta about a deal and that Messi
"has a contract with Paris Saint-Germain".
Messi's deal
with PSG is set to expire in the summer and at present he has not agreed new
terms.
"Life
takes many turns," said Jorge Messi, when asked if he would like to see
his son play for Barcelona again.
The
Argentina forward, who won the World Cup in December, joined Barcelona as a 13
year old and became a club legend.
Messi won 35
trophies with Barcelona, scoring a record 672 goals in 778 games across all
competitions.
