Lionel Messi sneaks into Barcelona in disguise with family

Lionel Messi, one of the world’s best footballers, has arrived in Barcelona alongside his family amid speculation that he may return to his former team, Barcelona Football Club. The Argentine star’s contract with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is set to expire in June, and with no agreement reached yet between him and the French champions, rumors have been swirling about his future plans.

Barcelona has reportedly left the door open for Messi’s return to the Nou Camp, two years after he left the club. According to the sports news outlet Sport, Messi has arrived in Barcelona over the weekend with his family and a total of 15 suitcases. PSG is not in action again until next Sunday, leaving Messi some time to spend with his loved ones and consider his next move.

While Barcelona is keen to re-sign Messi, the club’s crippling financial issues may prove to be a major obstacle in getting a deal over the line. Barcelona’s president, Joan Laporta, has expressed confidence in Messi’s return when asked by a fan earlier this month. Laporta recently spoke to Messi’s father and agent, Jorge, about a possible reunion with the club.

The Argentine forward has won seven Ballon d’Or awards during his career, and his return to Barcelona would be a major coup for the Spanish giants. Messi spent 21 years with Barcelona before moving to PSG in 2021. His departure from the Nou Camp was a shock to fans and the footballing world alike, and his potential return would be a welcome sight for Barcelona supporters.

As the footballing world awaits Messi’s decision, many will be hoping for a fairytale return to the club where he made his name as one of the greatest players of all time.
