Lionel Messi\u2019s potential summer comeback to Barcelona has made great progress. The Argentine international has been strongly linked with a fanciful reunion with La Blaugrana given that his contract with Paris Saint-Germain ends at the end of June. <\/p>\n

The PSG club is rumoured to be inclined to letting Messi go since he is reportedly dissatisfied in Paris, despite the fact that he still has a 12-month extension option. <\/p>\n

However, given Barcelona\u2019s severe financial circumstances, there is still some doubt about the likelihood of negotiating a deal to bring him back to Catalonia. <\/p>\n

– –<\/span><\/p>\n

The president of Barcelona, Joan Laporta, met with Messi\u2019s father, Jorge Messi, and agent to begin preliminary talks, according to Daily Mirror sources.<\/p>\n

Although the 35-year-old received no formal offer, it is an important step toward the possibility of a deal being reached between the two parties, with Barcelona expected to make a proposal in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

Previously, it came to light that FC\u00a0Barcelona\u2019s vice president,\u00a0Rafa Yuste, has reportedly contacted\u00a0Lionel Messi\u00a0regarding a potential summer return to the club.<\/p>\n

Messi left Barcelona in 2021 to join\u00a0Paris Saint-Germain, but rumours have been circulating that he may return to his former club. Yuste\u2019s contact with Messi suggests that Barcelona is interested in bringing the Argentine back to the\u00a0Camp Nou.<\/p>\n

The seven-time Ballon d\u2019Or winner\u2019s deal at the Parc des Princes came with the option of an additional year that Messi has thus far been reluctant to take up.<\/p>\n

According to a Friday report from Mundo Deportivo, PSG is willing to give Messi\u00a0\u201cmore money and more years\u201d\u00a0than simply the\u00a0\u201cplus one.\u201d<\/p>\n
