Barcelona Transfer News: If rumours are to be believed, Barcelona will not back down from their pursuit of Lionel Messi’s signature this summer. The Argentine’s current deal with PSG ends in the summer of 2023. The Catalans will be more than happy to welcome him back home.
Reports have indicated that Messi’s relationship with Joan Laporta has much improved since the latter publicly apologized for the manner in which Messi’s Bosman departure from the club was handled.
Barcelona has previously presented La Liga with a financial analysis of a potential trade for Messi. The league rejected some of their arguments. But the team is still hopeful that they can finalize the transaction before the summer break.

Barcelona Transfer News: FC Barcelona give a new update on Lionel Messi
Cesar Luis Merlo (via AlbicelesteTalk) reports that Barcelona is prepared to keep resubmitting amended ideas to La Liga until they get official permission. After that, they’ll give Leo their formal offer.
Messi is patiently waiting for Barcelona and is not worried about his future. He has no interest in financial gain and will gladly accept any offer made by the Blaugranes.
Javier Tebas talked about Messi’s future recently, saying, “If you ask me the question today, Messi’s return to Barça is very complicated.
We have to see how that will evolve, but several conditions would have to be met, Barça players would have to leave. There would have to be a reduction in wages. And then you have to know what salary Messi would have at Barça.”
