The coach of Barcelona, Xavier hernándezassured that it is not the time to talk about the return of the Argentine from Paris Saint-Germain​, Lionel Messi at the Camp Nou, although he underlined that “it would be the first” that he would like the striker to wear the Barça shirt again.

Minutes after the sports vice president of the institution, Raphael Yusterecognized contacts with the environment of the Argentine international, the former footballer appeared at a press conference before the league match against Elche and had to answer many answers related to the future of the former Barça player.

“I have friendship and many contacts with Messi. From here until (his signature) is finished, there is a world. It would be the first one I’d like to see come back, but I don’t think this is the time to talk about it. We play two titles in the next month and this is not the time to talk about it,” said the coach.

Xavi stressed that for the Argentine’s signing to be a reality “many circumstances must be met” and indicated that his return It will depend on the “will” of the footballer

“If he wants to come back, we’ll listen to him. I’ll be the first to add why he’s coming back,” Xavi insisted, recalling that the team is focused on winning titles in the “post-Messi” era, which “would be extraordinary.”

And, in this sense, the coach addressed the media environment of the Barça club: “They are specialists in changing the subject and I don’t understand that they talk about transfers. We are one step away from winning titles and now it turns out that we are talking about transfers “.

Xavi answered questions about the future of Leo Messi up to eight occasions, whose contract with Paris Saint-Germain it will end next June.

“The vice president said that the Catalans are in love with Leo Messi, are you also in love with Leo Messi?” a reporter asked him. And Xavi left one of his best responses from the speech.

“Yes, of course. Don’t misunderstand, but yes, of course. I’ve seen him grow up, I’ve had him as a teammate, I know the greatness of a footballer he is. I know him as a person and for me he’s exemplary in many ways. That is why it is logical that there is illusion. One last ‘Last Dance’, like Michael Jordan“, confronted Xavi between laughs, referring to the career of the former Chicago Bulls basketball player.
