Tebas 'wets' about a possible return from Leo Messi to FC Barcelona: "I'm sure ..."

The future of Leo Messi has recently been surrounded by some uncertainty due to conflicting information about a possible meeting between 'La Pulga' and FC Barcelona. While some assert that the Argentine wishes to return to wear the blue and garnet club's shirt to play in the new Spotify Camp Nou, with serious possibilities of that happening, others discard that possibility arguing that the '10' of the 'Albiceleste' has no intention of returning to Barça, especially while Joan Laporta is in charge of the club.

Now, another character related to the football world, like the president of LaLiga, Javier Tebas, has expressed an opinion on a possible return of the Argentine to FC Barcelona, showing considerable optimism by affirming with certainty that sooner or later Leo Messi will return to the club in Barcelona. "I think Messi wants to return to Barcelona," stated the league's president.

Tebas clarified his 'bombshell' about Leo Messi and his return to FC Barcelona

However, he later clarified his statements by saying that although he envisions Messi returning to the club where he spent many years, this return could also involve roles beyond the field. "He spent many years there. I am sure Messi will return. Perhaps as a player, but I also see him coming back in another capacity. Messi and Barcelona go hand in hand. Their brand and that of Barcelona are, in many ways, the same. He is in love with the club," commented Tebas in his interview with 'Give Me Sport' and journalist Ben Jacobs during the 'Business of Football Summit' 2025 by the Financial Times.

Regarding the future of Leo Messi, who has not yet renewed with Inter Miami, the team with whom he has a contract until December 31, 2025, all kinds of speculations have arisen. Although it is not ruled out that he could continue for another year at 'Las Garzas,' where he is the main figure and feels comfortable, even mentioning that it could be his last team as a professional, renewing to stay in a competitive project focused on him would complicate, if not make it impossible, his return to FC Barcelona in the future as a player.

The president of LaLiga also spoke about a possible return of Neymar Jr. to the blue and garnet club

Finally, regarding the possible return of Neymar Jr. to FC Barcelona, Javier Tebas also commented on it, being more emphatic and clear. "Neymar is another story. I don't believe he will ever return to Barcelona. I am quite sure of that," he concluded.
