Shouldn't a tier 1 source such as yourself be providing us with some news then?

Barcelona have not yet started conversations with Messi and his entourage. But they took a first step: admitting that letting Leo go was a huge pity. Now, the club want to sign him when his contract expires. [@verobrunati]

More talks of Laporta wanting to bring him back. If this is ever possible, it would be under the assumptions that Messi will be on significantly reduced salary, perhaps just an 8th or a 10th of what he was earning before and the club sees a big branding and commercial boost due to his return. A probably a very short ceremonial contract like a year or something.
It would be great for the club and Messi to mend fences and provide Messi the proper farewell but practically, it doesn't make sense.

Relax, Messi clan might just be pushing this to distract from all the RL9 hype since he joined

Would he play an interior mid? Certainly not a winger in Xavis system and no way a 9, even if Lews disappeared.

He can't play midfield. He would either be false 9 or Xavi would change from 433 to something that has a spot for a free #10 type role.

Why would he want to come back? Barca is as much a shit show then when he left.

Because he might care about Barca while you don't?
If he were to come back, it would be for sentimental reasons for Messi personally too, not because he thinks we are going to win another CL with him or get him another Balon d'Or.
There is no scenario in which Messi returns and sits on the bench for the most important matches. Too much influence at club and good will among fans for that to happen.

At the moment (with Kounde signing), we're a stronger team than PSG.
The GOAT was by and far the best player in Barcelona history, but it's best for him that he chills in the French league and focuses on Argentina (and CL with PSG, except against us)...while we focus on longer term success little by little. Best for both parties.
Definitely deserves a testimonial in front of 100K Camp Nou, though

Cheap journalism by Sport.
He's more likely going to renew with PSG for an additional year I think and then leave for either MLS or Argentina.
I don't doubt that Laporta want to rectify his relationship with him though. That interview of him couple of days ago he looked very genuine about doing that and while he knew it was necessary to move on I also think Laporta personally hate that it had to happen.
