Barcelona FC President, Joan Laporta, has said the club and LaLiga authorities reached an agreement that would allow Lionel Messi return to the Spanish club, only for his father, to decide otherwise.
Messi arrived Barcelona as a 14-year-old prodigy in 2000. By the time he left 21 later, he had amassed a cabinet-full of trophies and personal laurels, among which are seven Ballon d’Or.
After two pressure-soaked seasons at Paris Saint-Germaine, Lionel Messi was heavily linked to an emotional return to his childhood club.
