Lionel Messi, the forward for Paris Saint-Germain, has stated that he would consider returning to Barcelona in the near future if one condition is met.
Messi will return to Barcelona if Gerard Pique leaves the Blaugrana, according to El Nacional.
Pique had told Barcelona President Joan Laporta that with Messi’s departure, the club’s finances would improve, according to the 34-year-old.

Given that the two have known each other since they were 13, the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner is said to be irritated by the Spain defender telling Laporta such a thing.
After 16 seasons at Barcelona, Messi left for PSG on a free transfer in the summer of 2021.
Messi set a record at Barcelona by scoring 672 goals in 778 appearances.
Many consider the Argentine captain to be the greatest footballer of all time.
Messi, on the other hand, has not been in top form for PSG this season, scoring just seven goals and registering 11 assists in 23 games across all competitions for the French Ligue 1 giants.
