Messi Reveals Desire To Return To Barcelona
Lionel Messi has revealed that he would love to return to Barcelona in a technical capacity role at some point in time.
The 34-year-old Argentina international ended a 21-year association with Barcelona in the summer when he joined Paris Saint Germain on a free transfer after the Catalan giants failed to put a suitable financial package together to retain the six-time Ballon d’or winner.
Messi has somewhat struggled to replicate his Barcelona form for his new club as he is yet to score in his five Ligue 1 games for Mauricio Pochettino’s men.
Asked in an interview with Sport if he would return to Barca one day, Messi said: "Yes. I always said that I would love to be able to help the club.
"I would love to be a technical secretary at some point. I don't know if it will be at Barcelona or not. Or if it will be elsewhere.
"If there is a possibility, I would like to contribute again in what I can because it is the club that I love and I would love for it to continue to be good, to continue growing and to continue being one of the best in the world."
Messi made 778 appearances for Barcelona after making his debut in 2003 and is the club’s all-time top scorer with 672 goals. He won 35 trophies with the club including four UEFA Champions League trophies and 10 La Liga titles.
