Lionel Messi has been cycling the streets of Barcelona amid rumors of his return to the club

In the midst of weeks of definitions on the possible return of Lionel Messi to Barcelona, the Argentine star was caught on camera this Monday as he entered his home in the Catalan area after going on a bike ride. All rumors are growing in the European country as the player ends the season with Paris Saint Germain.

Just like last week when he tried to go incognito during his Eurodisney visit, the captain of La Scaloneta tried to walk the streets of Barcelona unnoticed. With a hood that covered his face as much as possible to avoid attracting attention, he was the clothes he chose 10. However, it seems impossible that he can dodge the cameras.

The journalist of the Spanish sports program El Chiringuito, Marc Nunezhas been tasked with viralizing the video he captured at the entrance to Messi’s home in Barcelona, ​​​​​​in which you can see how the world champion player quickly enters his home while enjoying his day off with the Parisian club .

Messi, cover in Spanish newspapers

If Messi dazzled everyone in Paris, Barcelona is dreaming of his return in a few months. The Catalan media Mundo Deportivo and Sport included him in their covers on Saturday 22 April.

​“The Vault with Messi“, headlines MD. On the front page, three teams propose to surround the 10 and cover him in his possible return to Culé. As they revealed, Xavi would consider him as an attacking axis, with a certain freedom, between midfield and the back striker, who in every scheme is Robert Lewandowski: “If the return of the crack finally materialises, Xavi sees it as a link between midfield and attack“.

If he doesn’t run smoothly, they’ll place him further back, closer to Sergio Busquets on the right. The names that will accompany him: Marc-André ter Stegen; Jules Koundé, Sergio Araujo, Christensen, Alejandro Balde; Busquets/De Jong, Pedri, Gavi, Ousmane Dembélé; Lewandowski.

For their part, in Sport they insist that the Blaugrana do everything to have their idol as soon as possible. “Optimism in the signature. Barcelona want Messi for the American tour“, reads the cover.

Messi’s contract with PSG expires in June and the Argentine already has an offer to renew. The French club has the priority of negotiating with “the Messi” -Jorge Messi is its representative- and has even leaked to the press that it may hire Harry Kane to have a competitive edge for the next Champions League. Furthermore, in Barcelona, ​​​​the team’s salary bill would (again) be an impediment to Messi’s return given that the culé president, Joan Laporta (currently grappling with criticism for the Negreira case) must sharpen his pencil so that the numbers close and comply with the financial “fair play” required by UEFA.
