Mercato / Ligue 1 – Lionel Messi’s entourage denies a rapprochement with FC Barcelona

A year after to the day, the images of Lionel Messi painfully clinging to the desk of the Camp Nou auditorium still capture the minds of Blaugrana supporters. In recent days, rumors have swelled about a possible return of the Argentinian to his favorite city, which he hastened to join the day after his successful start to the championship in Clermont (0-5). Messi back in Catalonia next season, it was enough for the wildfire to ignite the streets of the Catalan city, eager to celebrate as it should be the twilight of one of the greatest players of the club history.

Asked about the Joan Gamper Trophy (won 6-0 against Pumas), Joan Laporta was evasive, evading the subject: “I’m not going to talk more about Messi because he’s a PSG player. I will just say that we have a moral debt to him and talking about it could work against our aspirations.” Relaunched on the relations maintained with the relatives of the native of Rosario, the ponte culé was however reassuring: “The relationship is good with Messi’s family.”
