Main reinforcement of Barcelona for this season, striker Robert Lewandowski opened the doors for the return of an old acquaintance of the club. During the presentation of the book “Relatos Solidários do Esporte”, the Pole spoke about the possible return of Lionel Messi to the Catalan squad.
“I already answered, but for me, Messi will always be part of Barça. If he comes back, not only for the fans, but also for the players, it would be impressive. His place is here, at Barcelona”, he said.
The Argentine has a contract with PSG only until June, which would allow a free return to his former team. However, due to Barcelona’s current financial situation, the return of the former number 10 may be impossible due to his high salary.
😍😍 Lewandowski confesses it:
🤞 “I hope to be able to play with Messi next season”
🌟 For me Messi belongs to Barça, if he came back it would be incredible. We need these types of players. Not only the fans, but also the footballers.”
💙❤️ Culé, can you imagine?

Messi left the club in 2021 after 16 years playing for the main team. Although the soap opera over his return appears to be far from over, Lewandowski projected that the star could have an impact on coach Xavi Hernández’s squad.
“I don’t know what will happen, I’m not one to ask, but I hope we can play together next season. We need this type of player for sure.”
While the impasse over Messi is not over, the number 9 continues to be the main responsible for scoring goals at Barça. Lewandowski is the team’s top scorer in La Liga, with 17 goals, helping the Catalans stay at the top of the table.
