Lionel Andres Messi Cuccittini left Barcelona on August 5, 2021, a day that will go down in Barcelona’s history after having a remarkable run of history with the Catalan club. 

After the hopes of the renewal of Messi, who spent 17 years as a first-team player, the board led by the then-just-elected President of Barcelona Joan Laporta made a shocking announcement about the inability of the Argentine superstar to continue with the Blaugrana club.

As a result, Messi left where he considers home to become a free agent. 

Lionel Messi Rumoured to Return to Barcelona

Currently a player at Inter Miami, Lionel Messi has made a name in the soil of America, becoming the highest goal scorer and assister for Inter Miami. 

Despite his newfound happiness following a disastrous spell in Paris, Messi’s contract with the Miami club runs out in the summer of 2025, and reports have already started speculating about the legend’s possible return to Camp Nou this summer. 

Journalist Alex Candal has revealed that the Barcelona legend will return to Barcelona this summer when he becomes a free agent. 

Pending further confirmation, journalist Alex weighs the credibility of his report on the fact that he was the first journalist to report that Leo will be joining Inter Miami in the summer of 2024.

He said, “Who was the first one to say that Leo Messi was joining Inter Miami? Me… or not? And now I’m telling you: He’s coming back to Barcelona.”

This report is not new to Barcelona fans and has become a part of every summer news cycle. Since leaving the club, Messi has always been linked to the Spanish club, only to turn out differently. 

It remains to be seen if there will be any developments on the report in the coming days and months.
