With his Paris Saint Germain contract operating down on June 30, Messi has been linked with a return to Camp Nou exactly where president Joan Laporta are attempting to convince La Liga that they can make the deal perform by means of a viability program amid Economic Fair Play issues.
Messi has a €350 million ($375.five million) give on the table from Al-Hilal which he has currently accepted according to El Chiringuito, even though his father and agent Jorge Messi has denied there is any agreement in spot as has the Saudi club to Mundo Deportivo.
If Barca can handle to lure him away from the massive dollars and dress him in Blaugrana once more, they would of course land the seven-time Ballon d’Or holder on the similar type of absolutely free transfer which saw him wind up at PSG in 2021.
Elsewhere on the industry, even so, Barca could choose up his teammate, and the scorer of the second target in the Qatar 2022 final as Argentina beat France, Angel Di Maria for absolutely nothing in a related deal.
According to Relevo, there is a “95-98%” likelihood of the winger not renewing his contract at Juventus and moving on at the finish of the season, with former club Benfica interested in acquiring his solutions.
Final of all rounding off the trio of Argentine globe champions is Leo Paredes. The midfielder is also at Juventus, but on loan from PSG exactly where he previously shared a locker space with each Di Maria and Messi in the French capital.
