Following his departure from Paris Saint-Germain, Lionel Messi has reportedly set his sights on returning to his former club, Barcelona; however, there are some conditions that must be met.
According to reports from El Nacional, Messi has established a list of non-negotiable conditions that the club must meet if he is to return to the Camp Nou.
Firstly, the Argentinean has made it clear that he is only willing to join a team with a competitive football project that guarantees him the opportunity to contend for titles at his former club. Furthermore, he expects to be at the forefront of this project and the linchpin of the team.
Second, there are financial considerations. Messi’s return to Spain will not come at a discount, and he is determined that his salary should reflect his stature on the team. He aims to be the highest-paid player at Camp Nou and has made it apparent that he will not tolerate any teammate earning more than him.
Finally, Messi is also seeking a restoration of his position in the team. He has made it clear that he will return to the Spanish club as the squad’s attacking spearhead and the proud owner of the iconic Number 10.
While there is widespread speculation that Messi has already received an astronomical offer of €300 million per year to join Saudi Arabia’s Al-Hilal club, reports suggest that he would rather return to the club with which he has such a long-standing history.
Undoubtedly, Messi’s potential return to Barcelona will undoubtedly be a welcome development for the club’s fans, who are eagerly anticipating his reunion with the team. However, the fulfillment of his conditions will also be crucial.
