FC Barcelona knows that the return of Leo Messi can mean a huge sporting and financial recovery in 2023/24. The move of the team to Montjuïc and the problems with the salary margin complicate the panorama, but the '10' can alleviate the crisis

Calendar of FC Barcelona

Leo Messi knows that the FC Barcelona has opened the doors to his return. So much the fans like the staff have 'wetted' in a campaign that has like objective convince him to go out of Paris Saint-Germain to return to which always was and will be his house, all this by means of the support of a directive that deposits in the '10' his hopes to go out of the financial crisis and strengthen the sportive project that drives Xavi Hernández.

With the team playing in Montjuïc by the remodeling of the Camp Nou, the finances will see affected in what to sale of entrances and abonos refers , something that could minimise the presence of Leo from the summer. Of the same way, all what the rosarino generates to level of marketing represent an espaldarazo for a Barça that will not be able to activate 'crowbars' this summer and will have to work a lot to convince to LaLiga for flexibilizar his Fair Play.

The importance of Messi for the team of Xavi

After the 'stick' that supposed the elimination of the Glass of the King in front of the Real Madrid, Xavi Hernández left clear to the directive the need to reinforce the staff in summer to have greater depth. In this sense, the return of the 'Flea' would suppose a relief for the egarense, since this season has remained of self-evident that, without Pedri, slope a lot generate football in a team accustomed to have always the balloon.

Besides, the second stretch of the season has evidenciado the scarce forcefulness of a Barça that bet by the defensive solidity and the triumphs by the minimum to escape in LaLiga. With Leo, the staff would have ensured an upper production to the 30 goals by season (average of goals and assistances produced by the Argentinian in his two years in Paris), a brutal contribution to improve, mainly, the efficiency in Europe.

The plans of Laporta with the turn of Leo

Of equal way, for Joan Laporta, explain again with Leo Messi would suppose an injection of remarkable confidence for his management. The second stage of the mandator at the head of the club has remained marked by the exit of the '10' and recover him is key to generate confidence so much in the partners as in the investors that favour the Espai Barça, project that will leave in the club a difficult debt to pay in the next years.

In the middle of the scandal by the 'case Negreira' and the problems to renew to key pieces in the staff (Araújo, Gavi, Balde), if the Barça recovers to Lionel the panorama can change radically, for well, in summer. This yes, still is missing a lot for doing, so much in the contacts with the player and his surroundings as in the negotiation with LaLiga to expand salarial. Leo knows very very how is the Barça and what can offer him the directive. However, the 'crack' is had to negotiate, as long as the conditions are favourable for his return.
