And the Barcelona president spoke about the former team player for the Spanish newspaper Marca about the Argentine Lionel Messi and his possible return to the team after his move to Paris Saint-Germain, and said: “It is an ambition that I have as president and I would like it to happen. I was one of those responsible for that end that I consider temporary.”
