La Liga believes Messi has agreed to Barcelona return – Romero

In a major revelation, Gerard Romero is claiming that La Liga believes that Lionel Messi has already agreed to return to Barcelona in the summer transfer window.

As per the journalist, Barcelona had already sent an economic viability plan to La Liga towards the end of March to incorporate the signing of Messi. However, the Spanish top flight had disallowed some points in that plan and the Catalans are now working on a fresh proposal.

But, the belief among La Liga officials is that Messi has already agreed to come back to Barcelona, two years after having been forced to leave the club due to poor financial conditions.

Furthermore, officials are already understood to be working internally on the marketing for the 35-year-old’s potential return in the summer. Indeed, La Liga has already started working on Messi’s images that would be presented across the world should he return.

This is certainly a huge development in Barcelona’s pursuit of Messi. The Blaugrana were forced to part ways with the Argentina captain in 2021 as they were in no position to renew his contract.

Messi signed for PSG but his contract with the Ligue 1 champions expires at the end of the season. There had been talks held over a renewal in Paris but those have ended up falling through and a return to Barcelona looks very likely for the legendary superstar.

Several Barça stars and manager Xavi Hernandez have all spoken out openly about welcoming Messi back to the club in the summer. President Joan Laporta has also hinted at the possibility of a return.

And it seems like things are already set in motion in the back, with financial plans being drafted and submitted to the league, and officials in La Liga already starting to work on the marketing campaign for the 35-year-old’s return.

It has been reported that Messi could earn around €10 million per year at Barcelona should he return, along with a percentage of commercial profits generated from his return.

All this will hinge on La Liga greenlighting the economic plan that the Blaugrana propose. But with the league said to be working on images of his return already, a return could certainly be on the horizon.
