Messi: I want to be a technical secretary and return to help Barcelona

Lionel Messi says he wants to take on a position as a technical secretary when he retires from football and hopes to end up back at Barcelona.

The Argentine star spent 21 years with the Catalan side, where he established himself as one of the best to ever play the game.

The 34-year-old was forced to leave the club in the summer, however, as they could not afford to commit him to a new contract.

What has been said?

The now-Paris Saint-Germain attacker still has his heart set on going back to Camp Nou at some point as he starts making plans for life after he hangs up his boots.
