Transfer: Messi will return to Barcelona – Inter Miami co-owner, Jorge Mas

Inter Miami co-owner, Jorge Mas, has said Lionel Messi will return to Barcelona to receive a proper send-off.

Messi has still not gotten the chance to say goodbye to Barca fans after he left in 2021.

This summer, the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner opted not to return to Camp Nou after his Paris Saint-Germain contract expired.

The 36-year-old instead chose to continue his playing career in the MLS with Inter Miami.

Appearing on the Offside with Taylor Twellman podcast, Jorge Mas confirmed Messi will return to Camp Nou.

He said: “I don’t know if it’s some type of friendly or farewell game. They have this Gamper Trophy they play for in the summer.

“But there will be something where, hopefully when the new Camp Nou is open, because their stadium there they will not be playing in for the next year and a half, hopefully, Lionel Messi can say his proper goodbye.”
