In fact, fans who follow Messi know that he has always maintained his love for Barcelona, and he has always hoped to have the opportunity to return to Barcelona to play. So when Messi left Paris Saint-Germain, it was reported that Messi might return to Barcelona to play.
But then we also knew the story, Messi because of the problem of not reaching an agreement with Barcelona about salary treatment. In the end, he had no choice but to join the Miami International of the MLS. But Messi's return to Barcelona also revealed another opportunity, which is reported by the Spanish media El Nacional: "If Messi reaches a renewal with Miami International, Messi will choose to return to Barcelona on loan during the 2025 MLS off-season. Messi will extend his contract and consider continuing to play in Barcelona during the off-season. This will allow him to maintain his physical condition and prepare for the upcoming 2026 World Cup."
This time, the Spanish media confirmed this news, which also surprised everyone. The relationship between Messi and Laporta has also been eased, because previously both sides were played by each other during the renewal. This led to Messi being unable to get a renewal contract. However, after the celebration of Barcelona's 125th anniversary, Messi also communicated with Laporta, and their relationship has been eased. They can cooperate at that time.
Messi's loan return for half a year is also to prepare for the World Cup in terms of physical training. After all, training and preparation in Europe is much more intense than in the MLS. It is also more reasonable. Real Madrid may also smell unease, as Messi's return means that Barcelona's popularity and influence will once again surpass them.
