As the first international match day of 2022 approaches, many teams have begun to assemble and prepare, but Messi rarely has time to rest and does not need to return to Argentina to prepare for the World Preliminaries, and he also took the time to return to Barcelona for Xavi's birthday party. The party should be small, and the only people who can participate are barca captain level, including Busquets, Alba, and no Pique.
Such gatherings are not common, and Messi's best friends of course include Busquets and Alba, as well as Suarez and Neymar and Aguero. But meeting with Harvey, this has never been, of course, it is not that Messi and Harvey have a bad relationship, but that the two are not the same age, and it is normal not to have such a party. However, just when Messi was struggling in Ligue 1, Xavi used the birthday celebration to organize a party of new and old barcelona captains, which may really have other intentions.
One of the most likely speculations is that Xavi wants Messi to return to Play at Barca, and it is not excluded that Messi is also interested in this. However, there are rumors that Messi's wife, Antonella, asked Messi to communicate with Harvey to return to Barcelona, which is certainly not true. Fans familiar with Messi know that Antonella has always respected Messi's personal ideas, and the last time he emailed Barca to leave the team was also Messi's spontaneous behavior, Antonella only knew about it afterwards. Therefore, there is basically no case of Antonella proposing to let Messi return to Barca.
In addition, it is certain that Messi will not be able to return to Barca at this stage or at the end of the season, because he has signed a two-year contract with Paris. Few teams can poach top stars in Paris unless their contracts expire, such as Mbappe. Barca have been unable to bring Neymar back to Camp Nou by all means, and if Messi wants to return to Barca, Paris will certainly not agree to any offer from Barca during the contract period.
Therefore, Messi will meet Xavi this time, even if he really talks about returning to Barca, the sooner it will be the summer of 2023. Judging from the photos taken by some reporters, Messi and Harvey's party was full of laughter. Alves returned to Barca at the age of 38 and was basically able to lock in the main position. Messi returned to Barca at the age of 36, the probability is very high, and C Ronaldo did not return to Manchester United at the age of 36? This is the best ending of the story. Xavi should concentrate on developing young players at this stage, and when Messi returns, Barca's competitiveness should return.
