A strong statement from “Barcelona” regarding Messi’s return … and Xavi replies: “It is not his time.”

There is still speculation about the club that Messi will move to, after Paris Saint-Germain, during the coming period, and in which he will conclude his history.

In a press conference held today, Rafa Yusti, vice-president of FC Barcelona, confirmed in an explicit admission about the club's attempts to return Messi to its ranks, that Barca officials are in contact with Lionel Messi, the star of Paris Saint-Germain, in order to return him to the "Camp Nou" castle.

And he continued, describing the captain of the Argentine national team as being in love with Barca and the city of Barcelona, to see if we can return Leo to the ranks of our team, I believe that fate will make it possible.

For his part, Xavi Hernandez, coach of Barcelona, said that the return of Lionel Messi, the Paris Saint-Germain player, to the ranks of the team depends on the Argentine star and many other things.

And they continued: “I always talk with Leo, we are friends, but now is not the time to talk about the matter, whether for his interest or for the interest of Barcelona.”

But he denounced the question about a "possible" deal for the next season, while the club has "two championships ahead of us to win, and this time is important to focus, not Messi's time."

Xavi stressed, "I did not take any step to bring Messi back. It does not depend on me, but rather on him. He gave a lot of things to football and won everything."

And he added, "It depends on his happiness. If he wants to return, he must appreciate the matter. I have a wonderful relationship with Maan, and if he decides to return, we will listen to him and be happy."
