Star Lionel Messi must decide his future by next week. At least that’s what coach Xavi Hernández, from the Barcelonaat a press conference on Friday morning.
The coach said he has already contacted his former teammate to talk about a possible return to Barca. In addition, he reinforced all the efforts that the club’s board has been making to make the deal viable.
“Leo Messi will decide his future next week. He knows he has 100% of my approval to join us again, we are ready to welcome them. Nothing has changed for now, we have chances and we want Leo here. Now let’s go let him decide”, commented Xavi.
Messi has a contract with Paris Saint Germain until the end of the current season and should not remain in the French team. The team’s coach, Christophe Galtier, has already confirmed the information that the attacking midfielder is leaving France. The club, in turn, claimed that the commander “expressed himself badly”.
With an open future, the Argentine star has three potential destinations, according to the European press: returning to Barcelona, accepting a billionaire proposal from Al-Hilal, from Saudi Arabia, or transferring to Inter Miami, from MLS, in the United States.
The player will make his farewell to PSG this Saturday, in the duel against Clermont, at 4 pm (Brasília time), in Parque dos Príncipes, for the last round of the French Championship. The athlete’s father, Jorge Messi, had previously said that his son would only make a decision after the end of Ligue 1.
