There is buzz surrounding Lionel Messi’s unexpected trip with his family to Barcelona, fueling rumours of a potential return to his former club. The Argentine star has been enjoying a brief break from his commitments with Paris Saint-Germain since Saturday and decided to travel with his wife Antonela Roccuzzo and their children to Barcelona. His arrival at El Prat airport was reportedly met by his lifelong bodyguard and advisor, Pepe Costa, who was waiting for him. Messi’s arrival was not seen by anyone as he kept a low profile and arrived with 15 suitcases, sparking further speculation about his future. Although his PSG contract expires on June 30, he has not revealed where he plans to play next season and is currently focused on his commitments with PSG.
Barcelona is reportedly keen to bring Messi back to the club, and he is their main target this summer. However, his entourage has stated that this trip to Barcelona has nothing to do with his possible return to the club. Instead, Messi is taking advantage of his break to spend time with his family in Castelldefels and enjoy some downtime. This trip coincides with Saint Jordi’s day, a special day in Barcelona filled with visitors, roses, and book stalls. Despite the rumours surrounding Messi’s potential return to Barcelona, he is currently focused on his commitments with PSG and has not revealed any information about his future plans.
