Barcelona’s vice-president Rafael Yuste has said the club have been in contact with Lionel Messi about a possible return. Messi made a tearful farewell to Barcelona in 2021 after the club were unable to offer a new deal amid major financial woes and his contract at Paris Saint-Germain expires this summer.

Barça have made little secret of their desire to bring the World Cup winner back and at a press conference on Friday Yuste said they had been in touch with the Argentinian’s representatives.

“Leo and his family know the affection I have for them,” Yuste said. “I participated in the negotiations which unfortunately did not lead to a certain result. I’ve always had and I have this thorn in my side that Leo couldn’t continue at our club. Messi knows how much we appreciate him. I would love for him to come back. We’re in contact, of course, with them.”
