The possibility of Lionel Messi, currently playing for Inter Miami in the U.S., returning to his former club Barcelona continues to generate discussion in the sports world.
Messi, one of Barcelona’s greatest legends, remains a beloved figure among fans, who hold him in an affection that is unparalleled. The Argentine star left Barcelona in the summer of 2021, joining Paris Saint-Germain, which disappointed many supporters.
In the summer of 2023, Messi made the move to Inter Miami after talks about a potential return to Barcelona fell through. However, reports from the Spanish network *Relevo* suggest that Barcelona fans are still hopeful for news of his comeback.
The network revealed that Messi plans to attend Barcelona’s 129th anniversary event, scheduled for November 29. The event, which will take place at the Liceu Theater in Barcelona, is expected to feature several of the club’s former legends, with Messi being one of the key attendees.
This development comes despite the strained relationship between Messi and Barcelona’s president, Joan Laporta. Additionally, Barcelona’s management is reportedly delaying plans for a friendly match against Inter Miami, where Messi currently plays, until the Camp Nou stadium completes its renovations. If such a match does take place, it would offer fans a chance to say goodbye to Messi, who left the club abruptly without a proper farewell.
