Font Commits to Finalizing Messi’s Return to Barcelona in the Final Stretch of His Career

The candidate for the presidency of Barcelona revealed that he had conversations with Lionel Messi about the possibility of returning to the Catalan team in the event that he ends up at the helm of the club.

Font has said that there are conversations with the Argentine star about a possible return to the club that marked his football career. If he wins the elections next month, this proposal would work as a kind of farewell season for Argentina's number ten. He also said that the player could receive the position of honorary president if he wanted to.

According to Font, the idea of bringing Lionel Messi back is not new; they have been working for more than four years to create a project that is tempting enough to bring the Flea back to Camp Nou, especially after his traumatic departure from the club. ​Since Messi was crowned world champion with Argentina at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, the presidency and Barcelona's entourage have focused their attention and objectives on him. ​The truth is that Messi is at a crucial moment in his career on the eve of the next and last World Cup of his career. He is currently playing for Inter Miami where he has not shown any visible dissatisfaction and on the contrary is happy in David Beckham's team.

Besides, it is not the only option that Lionel Messi is considering in the event of a departure from Inter Miami, but the Argentine star is coveted by different clubs and some have to do with his history, such as Newell's Old Boys, which, according to its management, was in the planning phases of a mega-project to bring Messi, although it has not yet been revealed what kind of project or any other details.
