Barcelona presented Dani Alves to the press, who returns to the club after a few years, a circumstance that sparked the conversation of the possible return of other stars of the institution. Joan Laporta, the highest authority of the ‘Azulgranas’, was consulted about the possibility of bringing Lionel Messi in the future and did not suppress that idea, and even left the door open for Andrés Iniesta.

“I do not rule. It has happened with Dani, who has already said that age is just a number and has also made a significant financial effort. You are talking to me about two spectacular players, both Leo and Andrés ”, President Laporta said in the Auditori 1899 of the Camp Nou.

“I cannot predict the future, they are still playing. We will always keep them in mind, but at the moment they have a contract in force with other clubs. You never know in life ”, The Catalan lawyer also added about the PSG players and Vissel Kobe.

Dani Alves himself was also asked about the matter. In his case, he joked that if they lend him “a couple of hours” he will go to Paris “to look for Leo.” Seriously, he commented that “stories are born written and will always be remembered” and that “Leo is the greatest thing” he has been able to “see and have as a partner.”

Messi’s legacy at Barcelona

During his time at FC Barcelona, ​​Lionel Messi won 10 Spanish leagues, eight Spanish Super Cups, seven King’s Cups, four editions of the Champions League, three European Super Cups and three Club World Cups, a total of 35 trophies.

In addition, the great footballing level that the ‘Flea’ showed made him be awarded the Golden Ball six times for the best player of the season and he also won the Golden Shoe six times for the top scorer in Europe in the year, in a glorious stage for the Catalans.

It should be remembered that Messi had tried to leave Barcelona in August 2020, making a formal request to leave after a break in his relationship with then-president Josep Maria Bartomeu, but his successor, Joan Laporta, who had a close relationship with the Argentine, lo convinced to stay. Finally, the agreements did not come to fruition.
