Sergio Aguero ‘playing a role’ behind the scenes to bring Messi back to Barcelona

According to a report published by Fabrice Hawkins, Lionel Messi is ready to lower his salary three times to return to Barcelona. The Catalans are his priority, and he will do anything to push the move through.

Barcelona have offered him a €10 million salary package, and are hoping that La Liga will give the green light for the operation based on their financial proposal. While they have not accepted it yet, the Catalans are ready to try again until they find a solution.

The report also claims that Sergio Aguero is playing a role ‘behind the scenes’ to push this move to fruition. The Argentine only played five games for Barcelona through his short-lived tenure before he had to retire due to health complications, but has not hidden his love and support for the club.

Barcelona, meanwhile, are joined by Al-Hilal in their pursuit of Messi, and have sent him a record contract for any sportsperson in history, reportedly hitting a €400 million per year in wages.

Javier Tebas has the final say in the operation, but has expressed his doubt on the situation, saying, “If you ask me the question today, Messi’s return to Barça is very complicated,”

“We have to see how that will evolve but several conditions would have to be met, Barça players would have to leave, there would have to be a reduction in wages. And then you have to know what salary Messi would have at Barça.”

Meanwhile, today it was reported that Messi’s father is set to hold fresh talks with Inter Miami over a potential transfer. The two parties had held talks in the past, and also reached a pre-agreement, but the move never took place as the player wants to continue in Europe.
