Lionel Messi's Return to Barcelona Next Summer 'Possible Financially,' Club VP Says

Barcelona vice president Eduard Romeu didn't rule out a shocking reunion with Lionel Messi next summer, when the club legend will be a free agent.

"It would be possible financially, because if he returned it would be as a free agent," he said Wednesday on Catalunya Radio (via ESPN's Sam Marsden and Moises Llorens).

"But it's a decision which has to be made by the coaching staff and the player. It doesn't correspond to me [to make those decisions], but it would be viable."

Messi signed a two-year contract with Paris Saint-Germain in August 2021, and the sides have yet to agree to an extension.
