Amid some interest from Saudi Arabia, Lionel Messi might well be on his way back to FC Barcelona, if Barca president, Joan Laporta's words are anything to go by.
Messi is allegedly on his way out of Paris-Saint German, where he has not had the best of times at all.
Messi has appeared 36 times for PSG this season, in Ligue 1 and the UEFA Champions League, scoring 19 goals, with 15 assists added on his name.
While Saudi Arabia is alleged to be the next destination for the world cup winner, his former club, Barca, are also in the mix for his signature.
Barca were crowned La Liga champions in the weekend after their emphatic 4-2 win over Espanyol.
They look like a team that is on its way back to its former glory, having also won the Spanish Super Cup.
Having Messi back, without a doubt, would lift Barca higher up a notch.
Speaking to Catalan regional public television station TV3, Laporta has hinted that Messi's Barca return might be true.
"I have spoken to Leo to somehow redirect a situation that occurred, in which I had to put the club ahead of everything, even him, who is the best player in the world," Laporta told Catalan regional public television station TV3 as quoted by SABC Sport. https://www.sabcsport.com/soccer/news/barcelona-will-do-everything-possible-to-sign-lionel-messi-laporta
"The truth is that it was a very affectionate conversation, very pleasant, and we have also been sending each other messages lately -- I congratulated him on the World Cup."

Affectionate conversations, sending each other messages, what could be next? A press conference to announce the prodigal son's return in the summer?
Wait and see, we shall.
