Dani Alves and his blunt comment on Lionel Messi: “I hope I can return to Barcelona”

Lionel Messi is going through one of the most complicated moments of his football career after saying goodbye to the Champions League early and being botched by PSG fans. For this reason, Dani Alves was encouraged to give statements to ESPN, in which he reminded the striker from Rosario that “there is nothing better” than playing for FC Barcelona.

“For me, Messi is not enjoying himself at PSG, he is out of place. I’m going to say something that Leo (Messi) always told me: ‘Where are you going to be better than here?’ And I checked it out. There is nothing better than playing here (Barcelona)”, he said in an interview with Espn.

Alves, who at 38 has returned to the Spanish club this season, would like to play again alongside the striker from Rosario: “I hope I can come back. If he comes, come with me”.

In the interview, conducted on a bike ride through the maritime town of Castelldefels (Barcelona), the Brazilian recognized that the current course is “the most important” of his career since he has “the challenge of giving a high level”.

Leo’s father tries to return

The elimination of the Champions against Real Madrid, added to other factors, would have led Rosario’s environment to test his return to the Camp Nou a summer later.

Thus, Leo Messi’s father, Jorge Messi, who is also his representative, has contacted the Barcelona board a few days ago to discuss the Argentine’s return to the Catalan club, according to journalist Gerard Romero.

The striker left last summer on a free transfer to PSG, but his first year in Paris is not going well. After the elimination against Madrid at the Bernabéu, the Parisians can only choose to win Ligue 1. In addition, Messi has had a hard time adapting, as he himself acknowledged, and at an individual level he has only scored seven goals. Performance well below what he was used to as a Barça player.
