Recently, Barcelona president, Joan Laporta spoke about Messi’s return to the club when a fan asked him about the same in a recent clip that went viral on social media.

However, given Barcelona’s financial constraints right at the moment, signing Messi back won’t be that straightforward, as the Blaugrana will have to lighten up their wage bill first by selling off some players such as Kessie, Raphinha and Christensen, according to the report.
