Lionel Messi's potential return to Barcelona continues to dominate discussions this summer, as the club strives to bring back their beloved star before the start of the upcoming season. Despite encountering various obstacles along the way, Barcelona's leadership has consistently expressed their unwavering desire to re-sign the 35-year-old Argentine, who remains a deity-like figure among the fans.
In a recent development, club president Joan Laporta openly acknowledged his aspiration to secure Messi's signature this summer and made a solemn commitment to exhaust all possibilities in order to make the deal happen.
Building upon Laporta's statements, Barcelona vice president Rafa Yuste has now echoed those sentiments, expressing hope about successfully capturing the PSG superstar, who is poised to depart Parc des Princes at the conclusion of the current season, per Italian reporter Fabrizio Romano.
"I'd love for Leo Messi to return here. Of course it depends on his decision, but we'd love to have Leo back," Yuste said. "We hope for Messi here next season."

Barcelona's Financial Challenges in Lionel Messi Bid
Yuste's remarks serve as another indication that Barcelona is unwilling to surrender their pursuit of Lionel Messi, even in the face of significant financial challenges. However, with time running short, it is imperative for the club's leaders to translate their words into action.
The initial step would involve authorizing the sale of some key first-team players, enabling the club to generate fresh revenue and alleviate the burden of high salaries. Only then would Barcelona be in a position to present a proposal to Messi
While one might anticipate the Argentine maestro to demand lucrative terms after the manner in which he departed in 2021, he is cognizant of the club's financial hardships and has already rejected lucrative offers from Saudi Arabia.
Given Messi's willingness to be reasonable and considerate, the onus is now on Barcelona to take decisive action. It is crucial for the club to seize this opportunity and initiate the necessary steps to bring their prodigal son back home.
