Messi plans to return to Barcelona

Argentina playmaker and Paris Saint Germain forward, Lionel Messi, has stated that he will return to reside in Barcelona with his family after his time with French side, PSG.

The six times Ballon D’or winner disclosed this during an interview with Spanish outlet Sport, saying that he would like to help the LaLiga club as a  technical director.

“What is almost confirmed … is that we are going to live in Barcelona again and that our life will be there,” the 34-year-old said.

“It’s what my wife wants and what I want. I don’t know when my contract with PSG ends, but we’ll go back to Barcelona to live.

“I always said that I would love to be able to help the club … I would love to be a technical director at some point. I don’t know if it will be at FC Barcelona or not.

“If there is a possibility, I would like to contribute again because it’s the club that I love and I would love for it to continue doing well, to continue being one of the best in the world.”

It could be recalled that Messi ended a two-decade stay at FC Barcelona, where he was their record scorer with 672 goals.

The Argentine left the Spanish side for French side, PSG on a free transfer on a two-year deal.
