A shocking comment from Xavi about Messi's return to Barcelona
Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez spoke about the possibility of the return of Argentine star Lionel Messi, who currently plays in the ranks of Paris Saint-Germain, to the ranks of the Catalan team, with an unexpected shocking comment about the "flea".
Xavi told the Spanish newspaper "Sport" that: "It makes no sense to talk about Messi's return to Barcelona at the present time."
He added, "Messi has a contract with Paris Saint-Germain, so his return is currently impossible, and we will see in the future."
He concluded: "President Joan Laporta has already said that he hopes that Messi's departure will not mark the end of his story with Barcelona."
Messi left Barcelona last summer, heading to Paris Saint-Germain for two seasons, with the possibility of extending for an additional season.
It is noteworthy that several press reports have emerged in the past few days, according to Xavi Hernandez's request from the Catalan club president, Juan Laporta, to return Argentine Lionel Messi, immediately after the end of his contract with "PSG", at the end of next season.
