Interesting news... Laporta said that their door is still open for Messi now. Honestly I haven't had such expectation from Barcelona to sign him back from now on. Because Xavi is building a brand new team now and I thought that he wouldn't like to change the whole plan by signing Messi. In the end Messi would need to be the target man again like in the old times and this would break everything. If Xavi continues to be successful with his system then it would be better not to have Messi back.
Haha, that was probably a joke. Barcelona sold Messi because of their financial crisis. Messi agreed to cut his wages by up to 50%. However, Barcelona management did not keep Messi on the team. It's ridiculous to bring Messi back into the team at this moment. Moreover, PSG will not be interested in selling Messi now. I think Laporta made this statement to please Messi's fans. Because a huge part of Messi fans are Barcelona fans too.
I totally agree with you about this. Barcelona are already struggling with financial issues but they just don't care about it when it comes to splurging on players. I don't expect Messi to lower his demands much more in the future. Therefore signing Messi would still be a big load over them even though he takes a pay cut. Barcelona's priority now must be making their finances better as quick as possible. Otherwise there isn't a bright future waiting for them.
