Messi is under contract until 2023 with Xavi already trying to bring the player back to his home as much as possible. Of course Messi can still be competent and develop, it is even estimated that Messi's development at PSG is not significant. Because Messi has to share a seat. The passion that Xavi showed really led to the return of the El Clasico era. I think the opportunity is still wide open.
Barcelona will definitely wait for Messi contract to expire in the 2023 season and they will automatically not spend money when sending Messi home from PSG. Barcelona squad is very good at the moment, it's just that I see their bottom line is a little weak. maybe this loophole will be xavi work on windows this summer. I saw that barcelona game was very good against real madrid they were able to make madrid players overwhelmed to stem their attacks.
Maybe in this week Barcelona will likely get Kounde signature because of some growing issues Chelsea have reportedly withdrawn from the hunt for Kounde signature.
After successfully strengthening the attack line and midfield, Barcelona is now focusing on strengthening the back line. Kounde arrival was only a matter of time, Barcelona had won the hunt for Kounde after Chelsea didn't get the green light from Kounde and Sevilla. Reportedly Barcelona are also hunting for 2 Chelsea defenders to be brought to Camp Nou, Marcos Alonso Cesar Azpilicueta is included in Barcelona shopping list to strengthen their defense line. If these two players are successfully brought in by Barcelona, you can't imagine how strong Barcelona will be in the next season. Barcelona golden era while still coached by Pep Guardiola will soon look back.
It is very interesting to see the rivalry between Barcelona and Chelsea in the transfer market this summer, it looks like Chelsea are really annoyed
with Barcelona. How not, after failing to compete for Raphinha, it is likely that Chelsea will also fail to compete for Jules Kounde. Although Barcelona
have not officially signed Kounde, Kounde has agreed to the contract offered by Barcelona. Now Barcelona only need to settle Kounde's transfer fee
with Sevilla, therefore Barcelona are very optimistic that they can officially get Kounde. After all, Chelsea has diverted attention by eyeing other
players, now it is reported that Chelsea are starting to focus on signing Kimpembe from PSG. According to rumors it is true that Barcelona are still
trying to get Marcos Alonso and also Cesar Azpilicueta from Chelsea, but I'm not sure Chelsea will let Alonso and Azpilicueta move to Barcelona,
after Chelsea twice lost to Barcelona for new players.
