“I Had the Intention of Returning to Barcelona but It Wasn’t Possible” – Messi
Lionel Messi has opened up about his desire to return to Barcelona but admitted that it never materialized.
After leading Argentina to victory in the 2022 World Cup, Messi was eager to make a comeback to the La Liga side. However, things didn’t fall into place, and he eventually made the move to Major League Soccer, signing with Inter Miami after leaving Paris Saint-Germain as a free agent.
“I wanted to return to Barcelona and go back to the place I always loved, but it just wasn’t possible,” Messi shared in an interview with Simplemente Fútbol.
He explained that after that, his decision on where to play next became a family matter, with the World Cup win playing a significant role. “I knew I didn’t want to play for any other European team,” he said.
Messi spent 17 seasons at Barcelona, collecting 35 trophies, including 10 La Liga titles and 4 Champions League wins. At Inter Miami, he has already secured two titles: the 2023 Leagues Cup and the 2024 MLS Supporters’ Shield.
