Lionel Messi has spoken about leaving and possibly returning to FC Barcelona.
Messi left FC Barcelona in the summer of 2021 and joined Paris Saint-Germain. His exit from the club was filled with question marks and unanswered questions.
The Argentine secretly returned to the club on Monday, posting pictures on his Instagram social media account inaide the new Camp Nou. Speaking in an interview with Sport on Tuesday, Messi commented on possibly returning to the club. Here is what he had to say:
“We miss Barcelona a lot. With the kids, continuously, and my wife, we speak about things in Barcelona. The idea is to return there to live. We have our house there, everything, so that’s what we want.
“I am really looking forward to getting back to the stadium when it’s finished because I moved to Paris and I never returned to Camp Nou.
“And then Barça moved to Montiuïc. It will be strange to go back and see it because the last time I saw it was a long time ago. It will be emotional to get back there and remember everything that was.
“It’s a strange feeling after leaving, because of how it all happened, because I spent my final seasons there playing without fans due to the pandemic. After spending all my life there. I didn’t leave as I had dreamed of.
“I imagined myself spending my whole career in Europe in Barcelona and then coming here (Miami), as I did, because that was my plan. It was what I wanted. So, my goodbye was a little strange, because of the situation.”
