VP says Barcelona are in contact with Messi about potential return

The Vice president of FC Barcelona has spoken about PSG forward and former Barcelona captain Lionel Messi returning to the club.

“We are in contact with Messi and we would love him to come back,” Yuste, who was speaking at the tenth edition of the ‘Barça Academy World Cup’, said as reported by Catalan outlet Mundo Deportivo.

“Leo and his family know how fond we are of them. I was involved in the negotiations that unfortunately didn’t come to fruition at the time. Of course, I would love to see him return and I am sure many fans share my sentiments.

“I think it’s the most natural thing to do. When you are in love with a person you lose contact but you want to stay in love. And I think Leo is also in love with Barça and the city of Barcelona. I think destiny will make it possible. Let’s see if we can have Leo back at Barcelona.”

Yuste went on to say that he does not want to get into trouble with PSG “because Messi is their player”.

“There are two months left in which we can work with [Javier] Tebas and present him with the viability, cash flow, and income plan,” he concluded.
