Four steps Barcelona need to take to make Messi return happen – report

The possibility of Lionel Messi’s return to Barcelona is increasing with each passing day, as the forward’s relationship with Paris Saint-Germain continue to fall flat, in the midst of several factors. Recent reports even suggest that Messi is not happy with PSG’s renewal offers.

Mundo Deportivo has recently come up with an update on Barcelona’s pursuit of Lionel Messi. The report suggests that there are four steps Barcelona must take, which will ensure the Argentine’s fabled return to Camp Nou.

The club’s number one priority will be to make a well-structured offer. It is no secret that Messi is not happy with PSG’s new terms, and as such, Barça must woo the player with an economically sound offer. The club are reportedly working with key sponsors to help facilitate the return of the little magician.

Number two, Barcelona must hold a meeting between Messi and Joan Laporta. The Argentine’s relationship with the club president had strained in 2021, with the player arguing that the club should have done much more to keep hold of him.

Laporta, therefore, must meet Messi to ensure there is no enmity between the two parties. Another key factor in negotiations will be to make the Argentine and his father understand the Financial Fair Play issue.

The club must demonstrate to Messi and his representative that they will be able to work around the FFP measures and facilitate his return.

Finally, Barcelona must act with maximum discretion and work behind the scenes, before they can officiate any negotiations with Messi and his representatives. This will be essential in avoiding any potential disruptions on La Liga’s side.

Upon meeting these four key steps, Barcelona could be in a position to seal the return of their prodigal son in the coming summer. These are exciting times ahead for any Barça fan.
