Wink at Barcelona? Lionel Messi tattoos the shield of the ‘culé’ group | PHOTO

In recent weeks there has been speculation about a possible return of Lionel Messi to the FC Barcelona. There are several factors that could give us a sign of this: the end of the contract with PSG, the Argentine ends his contract with his current club at the end of the season; the break with the fans, many fans are dissatisfied with his performance and ask for his departure.

The lack of a clear sports project is another cause. The Parisian directive, under the command of Al-Khelaifi, seems to guide the hiring under a criterion that is not shared by many. Now, the last track of a possible return of the world champion to Barcelona came to light in the last hours.

Messi, during his trip (so criticized and for which he was punished) to Saudi Arabia, together with his family for a business tie, wore the Barcelona shield tattoo on his left leg. Will it be a signal to FC Barcelona?

Actually it is a tattoo planned for more than two years, when he was still a member of the Catalan team. In the composition it is possible to appreciate the number 10, a ball, the shield of the Argentine team. The only thing missing was the logo of the Barcelona institution, a club where he spent more than 15 years as a professional.

So, the photo is true and current; however, it is not made as a sign or nod to the Catalan club. It is a composition that Messi has been completing little by little, with the symbols that have most marked his football career.
