PSG Transfer News: Lionel Messi is reportedly the subject of attention from Barcelona over a potential Bosman move in the summer transfer window of 2023, as stated by a report published by SPORT. Xavi Hernandez has asked Joan Laporta to spearhead the effort to get the Argentine national team player back to Camp Nou from Paris Saint-Germain. 

It is arguable that Lionel Messi is the best football player in the lengthy and illustrious history of the game. The player, at 35 years old, has spent most of his professional career playing for Barcelona. He has been with the Catalan club for close to twenty years, beginning with his time spent in their illustrious youth program, La Masia.

PSG Transfer News: What’s the matter?

The incredible statistics of the Argentine international player include 672 goals and 301 assists for Barcelona in 778 total matches played for the club. But Messi’s time with the Blaugrana abruptly came to an end this past summer when Barcelona was unable to offer him a new deal. As a result, he left Camp Nou as a free agent and signed with another club.

After a difficult departure from Barcelona, Lionel Messi eventually made his way to Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer. However, the experienced striker was unable to reach the heights of his career during the 2021/22 season while playing for Parc des Princes because he struggled to adapt to his new environment. This was mirrored in his results for PSG, as he made 34 appearances and managed 11 goals and 15 assists for the team.

Will Messi move back to Barcelona?

Although it is an impressive total for the majority of players, it is nothing compared to the stats Lionel Messi achieved when he was playing for Barcelona. On the other hand, Messi showed hints that he was finally beginning to settle down in the PSG group as the 2021/22 season came to a close. This was highlighted by some of his outstanding performances toward the tail end of the campaign.

According to reports, Messi intends to honor his pledge to play for PSG even if the supporters of the club have jeered at him at various points over the 2021/22 season. On the other hand, Barcelona might try to re-sign him during the summer transfer window of 2023 in order to make a Bosman move. Xavi Hernandez is interested in getting back again with his old teammate.
