Lionel Messi’s father calls Barcelona over possible return

he father of Lionel Messi is understood to have reached out to Barcelona to discuss the possibility of a return to Camp Nou in the near future.

Messi left for Paris Saint-Germain after Barcelona couldn’t afford to renew his contract, but things have been rocky at the Parc des Princes. He was booed by his own fans during Sunday’s 3-0 win over Bordeaux after he failed to lead the Parisians past Real Madrid in the Champions League.

Jorge is believed to have told those in charge at Camp Nou that the 34-year-old is dreaming of a return to the club and he has held a number of phone meetings to discuss the possibility. There has been no mention of Barcelona’s response but more news is expected in the coming days.

The belief is that Messi and his family have struggled to settle in France and would be keen to return to Catalonia if the opportunity arrived, but Sport have previously noted that the Blaugrana officials are not interested.
