Lionel Messi teased the Barcelona fans over his return to the Catalan Club after his wife Antonella Roccuzzo posted on Instagram as they are roaming around the city with former buddies Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets.
Messi will be out of contract with PSG after the conclusion of the current campaign as the Argentine is adamant about not signing an extension to his contract as he desired to leave the French capital.
Barcelona is trying to arrange a possible return for the biggest icon of the club with Alba and Busquets trying to convince the World Cup winner to rejoin them.
Lionel Messi, Jordi Alba, and Sergio Busquets have a strong relationship both on and off the field as the three players have played a significant role in the club’s success over the years.
šØ Busquets & Alba will 100% stay at FC Barcelona if Leo Messi is signed! It is not a request from Messi, but rather they will reduce their salary to help with his return.@gerardromero [šļø] pic.twitter.com/nYBs4kn2jA

Messi and Alba have a special connection on the field, with Alba often providing assists for Messi’s goals while their understanding and chemistry have been key to Barcelona’s attacking play, and they often link up to devastating effects.
Similarly, Messi and Busquets have a strong bond, with Busquets providing defensive cover for Messi and helping to create space for him on the field. Busquets is also known for his excellent passing ability and vision, which has helped to set up many of Messi’s goals over the years.

Off the field, Messi, Alba, and Busquets are good friends and are often seen spending time together outside of football. They have a shared history and experience at Barcelona and have played together in many of the club’s most memorable moments.
Lionel Messi’s family along with his wife Antonella Roccuzzo has been very close to many Barcelona active players as well as to their families which could play a huge role in bringing the superstar to the Catalan club.

PSG will travel to Munich for the second leg of the UCL round of sixteen after failing to capitalize on the home advantage and will be seeking a blockbuster performance from the little magician in absence of Neymar who sprained his ankle.
Messi provided a significant impact on PSG’s 4-3 win over Lille and with the kind of form he is in, Barcelona will be hoping that the Argentine will join them after closing his chapter with the French club.
