The fans of the La Liga giant continue to have hope that their goal-scoring hero will return home. Amid all the uncertainty, an old pal of Messi and ex-Barcelona striker Sergio Aguero has hinted that the return could happen after his retirement.

Sergio Aguero hints at an inevitable Lionel Messi return to Barcelona

But the rumors of a return to Spain don’t go away. Quite recently, Sergio Aguero has claimed that Messi’s return is a ‘matter of time’. He said, “Leo always said he loved Barcelona. He is the best player in history and very attached to the club and the city. I haven’t discussed this topic with him, but sometimes I think it’s just a matter of time.” 

Undoubtedly, the fans and the club would welcome their hero with open hands. There were also talks of Messi playing in a friendly with Inter Miami in Barcelona. The Herons could get invited to the Joan Gamper Trophy.

Whereas, the future of his playing career remains stable with the MLS side. The Argentinian currently looks happy with the Beckham-owned side on and off the field. If there’s a chance for a shock return to Barcelona, a move is likely to happen in the 2025 window.

In an ideal scenario, Barcelona would want to seal the return of Lionel Messi as fast as they could. However, at the moment, the talks would likely take time because of his broken relationship with Joan Laporta. Let’s dive deeper.

In 2021, a Joan Laporta-led delegation failed to renew the contract of the Argentinian. The president stated that considering the financial difficulties of the club, it was the best decision for all parties involved. However, Lionel Messi was reportedly furious with how the negotiations went. He did not have any intentions to leave the La Liga club before the end of his playing career.
