Laporta Says Messi Will Not Play for Barcelona


Barcelona President Joan Laporta has urged fans not to expect Lionel Messi to return to the club as a player. The Argentine footballer left the "Blaugrana" in 2021.

Since then, many have speculated that the star forward might return before retiring, but it has become clear that this will not happen. "Messi’s return as a player is an unrealistic hope.

He has signed a contract with Inter Miami. Additionally, he is now 38 years old, and the club is focusing on building projects for the present and future.

Clinging to the past hinders progress," Laporta was quoted as saying by Barca Universal. Recently, Lionel Messi extended his contract with Inter Miami until the end of 2028.
