Fans seem to be on the edge and Antonella’s recent post seems to have pushed them further over it.
Why do fans sense a Barcelona return for Lionel Messi?
Lionel Messi’s future has been in question ever since the Argentine won the World Cup in Qatar a couple of months ago as the negotiation talks for a contract extension with PSG have been delayed significantly with many speculating that Messi wants to leave the French club.
Fans have speculated different clubs to be Messi’s next home but this recent image of Messi enjoying with his friends in Barcelona has excited FCB fans as they believe that Messi has given a sign of a return just as he did before leaving for PSG.

A picture of Lionel Messi with PSG players Neymar Jr., Angel Di Maria, Leandro Paredes, and Marco Veratti had gone viral just before the shocking announcement of Messi’s transfer to PSG was announced after he couldn’t renew his contract with FC Barcelona and the fans think that he has dropped a similar sign after his image with Busquets and Alba got viral.
Messi had to leave Barcelona due to the financial rules in La Liga and the club’s rising debt as they couldn’t afford his wages anymore. The Argentine bid a tearful adieu to the fans but it seems like he might be in for a stunning return to the club which will surely excite fans all over the world.
