According to Spanish reporters, Messi may end his contract with Paris in 2023, return to Barca for a season, and then travel to the United States. The reporter also said Messi's team had ruled out the possibility of the player returning to Barca this summer. Many fans do not trust this reporter's report, believing that this reporter's personal speculation has a lot of components. Messi joined Paris on a free reinsuring basis last summer and signed a two-year contract with Paris for a period of 30 June 2023.
I think the possibility of Messi returning to Barca for a short time is there, but there are a few prerequisites. First, Messi personally wanted to cut his salary significantly, according to Barcelona officials, the reason why he failed to renew Messi's contract. The main problem is the salary cap problem, Messi's personal salary is too high. Second, Messi is ready to withdraw from the first-class league, and will no longer pursue the Champions League and personal honours in the future. I think it's possible to do that, with 7 Ballon d'Ors in hand and 4 Champions League titles in hand, these honors are hard for others to match. If the above two requirements can be met, Messi may return briefly. This probability is very, very low.
I don't think the Spanish journalist has any exclusive information, he mainly based on the existing information and conducted his own analysis. Messi's reasons for returning to Barcelona may be the same as Alves, which are now in a difficult period. The team is in the process of rebuilding, and if you can get Messi's help, it will definitely be more effective. This reporter's "reporting" does have some truth, but it is very difficult to achieve.
Whether or not he can return to Barcelona mainly depends on Messi's personal thoughts. Barca's salary for Messi is certainly very limited, and it is now bringing in Haaland. If the introduction of Haaland is successful, plus Messi's salary. Even if Messi cuts his salary sharply, at least it will cost more than ten million euros. Whether Barcelona can afford it or not is still unknown.
