Barcelona to Invite Lionel Messi to Farewell of Departing Players

Barcelona is reportedly planning on inviting their former captain and long-term teammate Lionel Messi to the farewell events for departing players Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba. According to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona will extend the invitation to Messi as a gesture of appreciation and camaraderie.

Messi played alongside Busquets for a record 567 times, which is more than any other player in his career. Messi and Alba were also teammates since Alba’s 2012 arrival at Barcelona from Valencia until they both left the Catalan club this summer.

Barcelona plans on hosting the farewell events later this year, and they hope to get Messi back at the Camp Nou for the event. Messi currently has a contract with Paris Saint-Germain, which will end in the summer, and he is eager to leave the French Ligue 1 champions.

Barcelona’s invitation to Messi may signal the possibility of his return to the club. Nevertheless, it is a sign that the club aims to ensure a strong bond with their former iconic player.
