Messi continues to flirt with Barcelona: he went out to dinner with Alba and Busquets amid rumors of his return to culé

“These are rumors,” Lionel Messi would say when answering questions from the press. But that doesn’t happen. And the versions grow. Over the weekend he took advantage of the free days he was granted at PSG and went with around 15 suitcases to Barcelona. On Monday morning he was seen pedaling through the city, as if enjoying every second of the streets of Castelldefels, where he has his family home. And in the evening he went out to dinner with his friends. But not with any kind of friend, but with Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets, two referents of FC Barcelona and all amidst rumors of his return to the club that saw him born, grow and become the best footballer of all time.

So on Sunday he traveled, on Monday morning he pedaled and in the evening the Argentine star went out to dinner with his wife and friends. And, as happened to him when he was at Euro Disney a few days ago, it generated a real revolution when the dance began to spread about his presence in the club.

Messi and Antonela met in an exclusive restaurant in Barcelona with Jordi Alba and his wife, Romarey Ventura, who are expecting a child, and Sergio Busquets and Elena Galera, another couple who are friends with the Argentines. Without going any further, a week ago they met at Disney in Paris. On this occasion there was also Pepe Costa, one of those closest to Rosario during his years at Barcelona.

Leo’s arrival leaked quickly, there were even cameras waiting for him when he entered the restaurant. Journalists asked Messi if he was preparing his return to the Blaugrana but the current Paris Saint Germain player, without losing his manners, did not answer questions.

In Barcelona they see signs of the imminent return of the prodigal son. Suitcases. Dinners and meetings with friends of the club. Laporta’s meeting with Jorge Messi … And, while at the Parque de los Príncipes they boo him when his name appears on the giant screens, in Barcelona they play him when the match of the team aiming for the championship reaches the tenth minute mark . All roads seem to lead to Catalonia, even if the answer will only be in the middle of the year. There is little left, even if the anxiety is great.
